The dash/instrument cluster looks just like the one in my Mom's 57 Plymouth wagon.

And yes, I KNOW this is not a wagon!

Yes, but I think it is a Plymouth, around a 55 or 56 convertible, with the special drive-in speaker option!  :D

DeSoto?

I wuz just sitting here thinking "That could be a DeSoto! Prolly a DeSoto Fireflight, in fact."

I arrived at this insight independently without any assistance from anyone.  Especially anyone with a screen name that starts with the letter "U".  None at all.























Whatsoever.    ;D

I'm gonna say it's a 1958 De Soto Sportsman convertible with an under-dash record player option.   That would explain the dual speakers.  Stereo came into popularity in the late '50's, so it seems possible.
