De Soto Model
I got really interested in De Sotos 'cause of Sam & Max and I was wondering what the model was. Also which model do you think is cool, and which color?

EDIT
While googleing the car I came across this picture ..... It seems like a perfect picture for Max-o-vision picture flashes. Why? Its old weird and that woman is posing next to a De Soto engine
Freelance Police also had the hardtop. However, one of Culture Shock's throwaway lines:
"Remember our old car Max?"
"I said I was sorry!"
'Nuff said really.
Wow, those things look pretty cartoonish to start off with.
So did you find one?
If I was in the market for a car, I'd be looking for a DeSoto to paint up like Sam & Max's (only with my initials on the badge).
Either that, or a DeLorean to customise with a flux capacitor.
OR maybe even a reasonably priced second-hand model of whatever's reliable and going cheap.
But in English, I keep seeing things like "LeChuck", and it just feels weird after being taught for so long that capitals letters are only found on the first letter of a word (except if the whole word is in capitals, that it).
But then again, French uses capitals less often to begin with. Like, weekdays and month names don't take a capital like they do in English, neither do adjectives ("an American friend", "American" wouldn't take a capital because it's an adjective) and other things like that.
EDIT: oh, and in book/movie/song titles, English capitalises the first letter of every word (except articles or particles) while French only capitalises the first word, the second if the first was an article, and words that would normally be capitalised (names, places, etc).
Actually Steve told us he thought it would be cool if the roof was removed, is all. One initial backstory was that the roof rusted away after a decade of neglect, and the pinstriping and over-styling came from a low-budget, high-style attempt to repair the damage. I don't think that ever made it into the game, though. I think, actually, that Steve had a story for Sam & Max to return home and discover what happened to their car planned in the webcomic, but in a later chapter we never saw. He may have mentioned that recently in one of the billion interviews he's done lately...
While I was pretty sure it was partialy because It would be easier do not animate the doors of the deSoto. Which I'm pretty sure those doors do not work anymore =P
One day we'll toss doors on there. It's not too hard the way it's modeled, but back when doing 101 it wasn't necessary so we skipped it. I would love to see doors though
In the "ask Steve Purcell" subject of the preorder forum, he said that he did intent on finishing the webcomic, and that we had to see what years of rust did to their car.
I guess you've ruined it for us now, eh?
Darnit, Avistew! I'd already forgotten Steve mentioned that! At least before, I could have led myself to believe it was a surprise ...
I though that was Pidgeon Poop.
Me too. Me too. For some stupid reason. Not really an actually valid one. =P
I didn't remember what it was, but since Jake mentioned rust I assumed that was that.
Oh well, now we don't know for sure! The Mystery is still alive!
... What?
( I don't think there was a 1963 model)
oh man i would love to see the desoto get a little more love like that. Its kind of the unofficial third main character.... that and its just a really kickass car.
quick question arent many of the background cars desotos as well only with hardtops?
was permission needed from Chrysler to use the car?
I find this behind the scenes stuff interesting thanks for sharing that stuff Jake.
Has anyone noticed their supposed to be police but never invested in a police light?
If anyone wanted to read the old topic on this.
They never invested in "no stinkin' police badges!" either. Guess they think the black and white car and the guns is enough.
Here is a little known version of the DeSoto that I did not include in the pictures in an earlier post... Its concept art showing a futuristic version of the DeSoto, from the canceled action/adventure game Sam & Max Plunge Through Space Not to be confused with the also cancelled Lucasarts title Freelance Police
