This video is invaluable as a restoration reference for cars of this era, especially being in color, which was still rare in the '50s. I have referenced it several times during my '56 DeSoto restoration, particularly looking at the original sheen of the heater box and the trunk lid insulator pad.

By the way, I see you are in eastern Ohio - consider coming to spectate at the upcoming National DeSoto Club convention in Akron, Ohio. Show day will be Saturday, June 28th, 9-3, at Hardesty Park, 1615 W Market St, Akron, OH 44313. Rain or wet ground location at Summit Mall parking lot directly across from host hotel. Full event details can be found on the club website under the events tab.
