1955 DeSoto Firedome two door hardtop. Better than barn fresh, this great car was recently taken out of 30 years covered storage. Maintenance and repair invoices date back many years and illustrate the excellent care the car has always had.

n 1928, Walter P. Chrysler was riding high. After only four short years of manufacturing, the Chrysler Corporation had risen to third place in the American motor industry.

Over 40 years old, this handsome Buick was typical of the far-out styling of the Fifties. Big, flashy, lots of color, and loaded with heavy chrome, finned rear quarter panels. Yes, Buick had them, and so did most of the other style leaders of the 1950's.

This beautiful hardtop is one of the last of the famous chrysler 300 letter series high performance luxury cars.

The Swope Museum is not selling all of their cars. We're continuing to do what we have always done, adding and removing vehicles from our collection when the time comes. What's new is that we have now given fellow collectors the opportunity to list their own vintage vehicles for sale on our site.Definitely not. The Swope Museum continues to preserve an impressive collection of vintage cars in its own collection, and those vintage cars are not for sale. Swope Museum only offers a select vehicles that are no longer part of the collection for sale to collectors and fans.Great question! While the Swope Museum has opened its site to multiple collectors, we try to make sure that we maintain a good balance of vehicles for sale in our vintage car inventory. If you have a classic vehicle that you [...]
