Rare Rides: The 1982 De Tomaso Deauville - Quattroporte Meets XJ?

Rare Rides has shown several vehicles which owe their creation to retired racing driver Alejandro de Tomaso. Among those were two which wore his logo: the Guarà Barchetta and the Longchamp.

Today’s car is the only four-door De Tomaso ever produced: the Deauville.

Syke Son of a Chevrolet dealer back then, grew up in the showroom. To this day, I cannot get the appeal of the '57 Chevy, must less it being the poster car of the rock and roll Fifties. The '55 was gorgeous, the '56 wasn't hurt too badly by the dealer-demanded restyle (full width grilles were in style, and the '55 didn't have one, so the dealers panicked), but the '57? A bad attempt to keep up with Ford and Plymouth, redeemed only by the continuation of the Tri-Five build quality (exceptional for it's day) while the '57 Ford and Plymouth turned out to be rust buckets.$35,000? No. Freaking. Way.Oh, by the way, that was the year Ford outsold Chevy for the first time since pre-WWII. Style was everything back then. As the son of the Ford dealer (in my grade school class) was more than happy to remind me constantly.All was redeemed by 1958. Even if the '58's weren't as well built as a Tri-Fives.

MaintenanceCosts I have an irrational weakness for Biarritz and d'Elegance packages of this era and the button tufted seats that came with them. We're sort of getting back there with the current quilted leather fad, but only sort of.
Ajla Do journalists ever ask the automakers that like building hydrogen cars to acknowledge that there is no place to fill them? And where they expect future filling stations to come from?
