Description
The Desoto motor company was named after explorer, Hernando de Soto.
The Spaniard's bust, complete with a conquistador's helmet, had adorned previous model years.
But it wasn't until 1950 that it saw the light.
Behind the plastic face there was a light bulb that came on with the headlights.
