德索托探險者

????德索托（DeSoto）是克萊斯勒公司在1928年到1961年間生產(chǎn)的一個品牌，現(xiàn)在人們差不多已經(jīng)不記得它了。探險者的問世也沒能阻擋德索托的沒落。

????1958版德索托探險者是克萊斯勒公司匆匆上馬“新潮外觀”的另一個犧牲品。這款車渾身都是毛?。喉斉衤┯?，變速器易故障，金屬件易銹蝕，轉向助力也有毛病。當然這款汽車也有值得自夸之處，它的長度達到了18英尺，自重達2噸。

????只要拿眼一掃，你的視線就會被它高高的尾鰭吸引，若是看得不夠仔細，興許還會把它誤為是舊金山金門大橋的入口。尾鰭上三角形的陽極電鍍鋁，以及后備箱蓋上的鍍鉻裝飾也是畫蛇添足。

DeSoto Adventurer

????By now almost forgotten, DeSoto was a Chrysler brand manufactured from 1928 to 1961. It can't be said the Adventurer did anything to halt its decline.

????Another victim of Chrysler's rush to the Forward Look, '58 DeSotos were plagued with leaky roofs, flimsy transmissions, rusting metal, and faulty power steering units. They sure made a statement, though, at more than 18 feet long and two tons in weight.

????A side sweep along the flanks directed attention to its fins, tall enough to be mistaken for the entrance to the Golden Gate Bridge. Unnecessary decorative touches included anodized aluminum triangles in the fins and chrome strips on the trunk lid.
