Membership Application &
The DeSoto Diary Newsletter
Thank you for considering to join our club! You only have to appreciate the "orphaned" Chrysler brand "DeSoto"; you don't have to own one to be a club member. We also are diverse in age range and have activities for those who like to work on vehicles, as well as those who just like to socialize. While you'll find our members are MOPAR enthusiasts, our members have other interests in the collector car hobby from other makes & models. Although our activities cater to the Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, District of Columbia, and Virginia areas, you can live anywhere and be a member. Our members travel everywhere! We have a very low membership rate of $10 for one year, or $18 for two years (Save $2!).
INSTRUCTIONS: Please download the DOCM Application Form file (shown below) and complete that form to start the process. Once complete, please send your application and check or money order payable to "DeSoto Owners Club of MD, Inc.":

Important: Membership in the National DeSoto Club (NDC) is ALSO required to renew or join the local club as we are a chapter of the NDC. Please refer to the NDC website http://desoto.org for details, and for your convenience the NDC application form is shown below. And if none of that is working for you, no problem! Please email or call us and we'll email or mail you one! Also, check out the NDC Facebook pages: https://www.facebook.com/nationaldesotoclub/ . We require membership in the NDC as it provides many benefits to you and our chapter club!
Since 1976, our club has been producing a bimonthly newsletter. For publication years 2015-2017 and 2019-2020, we were honored to receive a "Golden Quill Award" from Old Cars Weekly Magazine judges in the "Regions/Chapters Class." (We missed the deadline to enter in 2018 and decided not to enter in recent years, but we still maintain the high standards!) If you become a member, you will receive this newsletter either digitally or by USPS First Class Mail. Below you can see samples of our newsletter and the fun our club members have (if you don't see the samples, please email us and we'll send you a copy; DeSotoClubMD@gmail.com).
Happy DeSoto Motoring!
