Overview of 1949 DeSoto S-13 Custom Convertible For Sale by Owner

Despite its classic lines and drop-dead drop-top appeal, this DeSoto S013 Convertible is hiding a secret. Underneath, lies the heart of a modern V8! Yes, this 1949 DeSoto S-13 Convertible blends the charm of post-war American design with the punch of modern mechanicals. Located in Naples, Florida, this beautifully reimagined cruiser features a fuel-injected 350ci Ram Jet V8, modern braking, and tasteful updates, making it far more than a Sunday showpiece. With fewer than 1,500 miles reported since its rebuild, it’s ready to enjoy from day one.

Exterior and Interior

Finished in a bold, glossy red, this S-13 holds true to the elegance of its late-''40s heritage while sitting subtly lower and cleaner than stock. The flowing front fenders, classic grille design, and long rear deck make this DeSoto an unmistakable presence on the road. A convertible top offers open-air driving, adding to its already easygoing charisma. Inside, the beige interior offers a warm and understated contrast to the exterior’s vibrancy. The layout retains its vintage feel, but with modern driving comfort in mind. Subtle modifications and clean finishes bring the cabin up to modern expectations without compromising its period-correct charm.

Engine

Under that long bonnet lies a powerhouse in the form of a 350ci Ram Jet V8, delivering reliable, fuel-injected performance and plenty of torque for highway cruising or local show-and-go. Paired with an automatic transmission, the drivetrain makes for effortless driving. Front disc brakes provide improved stopping power, while rear-wheel drive keeps the driving dynamics true to the car’s original spirit.
