DeSoto dealer literature

Look in the right navigation bar for all literature under this make.
Grading System for "H" Literature
A = Excellent condition. Shows little or no use.
B = Item shows normal wear, as used by a dealership for one year. No damage.
C = Well used, with some damage, but book is useable as a reference.

About dealer showroom albums which have a "J" in the Item No.
1) "J" books are a combination of "A" and "B" quality, unless a problem is noted, but most are "A"s. See "Abbreviations & Product Info"
2) We have not gone through and counted every page in a "J" book, but books appear to be complete.
3) We are constantly having requests for these "J" items, and we want to make them available to you quickly, therefore we are giving less information and offering them at reduced prices.
