 Special: 
- The DeSoto brand was founded by Walter Chrysler on August 4, 1928, introduced for model year 1929 and named after the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto.
- Chrysler wanted to enter the brand in competition with its arch-rivals General Motors, Studebaker and Willys-Knight, in the mid-price class.
- Shortly after DeSoto had introduced it first automobile ever, the Six Series K (August 4th, 1928), Chrysler completed its purchase of the Dodge Brothers (August 31th, 1928), giving the company two mid-priced makes. Had the transaction been completed sooner, DeSoto never would have been introduced.
- The Custom was DeSoto’s top-trim level car, followed by the DeLuxe Series S15-S.
- The 1951 Custom Series S15 was available as this 2-door Club Coupé, as 2-door Convertible (3,950 units built), as 2-door Sportsman Hardtop Coupé (8,750 units built), as 4-door Sedan 6-passengers (88,491 units built), as 4-door Sedan 8-passengers (769 units built), as 4-door Station Wagon Steel (1,440 units built) and as 4-door Suburban 8-passengers (600 units built).
- This second generation Custom (1949-1952) was assembled at the Maywood Assembly, Los Angeles (California) and at the Jefferson North Assembly Plant (JNAP) in Detroit (Michigan).
