Description

Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to digitally present this 1947 DeSoto Deluxe - a stunning fusion of post-war style and modern American muscle, tastefully reimagined for today's roads.

Originally built during a time when the DeSoto name was synonymous with elegance and innovation, this example takes the classic silhouette of the '47 Deluxe and infuses it with serious performance under the hood. Cloaked in a deep metallic blue exterior, the car retains its vintage character, with subtle modern touches that hint at what lies beneath. The gray interior continues the clean, timeless vibe while offering comfort and functionality suited for modern driving.

Beneath the hood, this DeSoto makes a bold statement with a professionally swapped Corvette-sourced LS V8 engine - offering the power, reliability, and ease of maintenance that today's drivers crave. Paired to a manual transmission, the car maintains an authentic and exhilarating feel, delivering old-school engagement with new-school grunt.
