Our members and contacts reach around the globe, from Maryland to Michigan; Sri Lanka to Norway; the UK to Canada! Here are photos sent to the club from DeSoto aficionados. The Gallery includes club members at events with other collector vehicles too! Several of our members have had their DeSotos in movies and advertisements filmed in the Maryland-Washington DC area. This includes: the tan 39 DeSoto was filmed in HBO's Plot Against America; the navy blue 53 DeSoto was in NightWalkers internet series; and the Arizona beige 54 Desoto was in the movie Jackie. Our club also was the lead for the Airmail Centennial USPS Stamp First Day of Issue Car Display held at College Park, MD in 2018. Check out other activities on the CALENDAR tab/page.
