[column grid=”2″ span=”1″]Year 1948 was basically the same as the 1946 and 1947 models. All models were a mild facelift of the prewar styling with headlights re-exposed. In addition to civilian production, DeSoto built 11,600 taxicabs often seen in movies.

The DeSoto line was completely redesigned for the 1949 model year.
