That's an itsy-bitsy Desoto.

Mikko Lammi in Finland sent me this picture of his W500 DeSoto fire truck. His W500 is not itsy-bitsy.

Both Fargo and Desoto badges were used on exported vehicles from the Dodge assembly line. I cannot find W100 - W300 trucks with Desoto badging in my production books. There were many W500 Dodges cab and chassis versions exported with purpose built bodies added at their new homes. Many became fire trucks and there are many Dodge firetrucks in collector shows in Europe.

The Desoto badging is very rare. I'd like to see the VIN/Data Plate from Chrysler Corporation that says this itsy-bitsy truck is really a Desoto.
