THE LAST ADVENTURE; 1961 DESOTO

DeSoTo ended production only 47 day after the 1961 line, which consisted of only two-and four-door Adventure models, was introduced. Although DeSoTo, like all the Chrysler marques, had been re-styled in 1960, the short lived ’61 models got a new, more attractive horizontal grille, canted headlights, a ‘shoulder’ at the leading edge of the big fins, and new taillights. There are no mould lines in spite of the complex shape and the script logos and wheel arch moldings are hot-printed, but accurate 361 cid V-8 is wired and the accessories are neatly done and the interior is impressive, with authentic three-tone upholstery, separate chromed handles, nicely detailed dashboard and a legible speedometer. Very few 1961 DeSoTo Adventures were built but Yat Ming’s model has all the ’61 details, including the revised fin, exactly right. ~SMI April 2007 See more.

AUTO ART 1/18 SHELBY GT500



The original Shelby Mustang was the 1960's GT500 and GT500 KR, or 'King of the Road', powered by a big block 428-cubic-inch 'Cobra Jet' V-8, making the GT500 one of the most powerful and memorable muscle cars of that period. With the look and legend you would expect from Shelby and the kind of power and performance enthusiasts have come to expect from the GT500 it's a brand-new era in the Mustang's future.

AutoArt have superbly captured the elegant and powerful line of the new GT500 eith their new model of the beast, made special by the addition of the Shelby Cobra badge on the grille and the wheel centres. This is a vehicle that any muscle car fan will have on their list as a 'must have'!Buy it now.
