The Desoto Taxi Cab

One thing i noticed when i watched this movie is when they get into the Taxi at the train station and they go to the hotel that car is seen in a close up when they stick their heads out of the top and on the driver's side front fender you can see DeSoto on the car. That Desoto car they rode in has to be either a 1949 or earlier model because I have a 1950 and a 1954 Desoto car. I can say that it is a shock how this is the only movie I have seen ever having the Desoto cars in it. Those of you who have never heard of that line of cars need to know that the Desoto cars were Crysler's version of Cadillac and were built from 1929 to 1961. The reason they were discontinued is after Walter Crysler died the people who took over his automobile company started building the Desotos and Plymouths the same instead of keeping the Desotos ahead with certian luxury items like how General Motors did the Cadillacs VS. the Chevrolets and Oldsmobiles. So you see Right there is why that line of cars got shut down. SO this is a great thing that this Ma and Pa Kettle movie has the scene showing such a rare to find line of cars.
