In 1928 Chrysler purchased Dodge and introduced the new DeSoto and Plymouth. The DeSoto was a medium priced American Automobile that bridged the gap between Dodge and Chrysler. The early DeSoto was pitched just above Plymouth in size, power and price. However, the true reason for the DeSoto was to compete with Oldsmobile, Pontiac and Nash.
1928 De Soto Six Two Door Sedan Styling and general design of the 1928 and 1929 De Soto were in line with Chrysler. Evidence of that can be seen in the above 1928 De Soto advertisement - "DeSoto Six product of Chrysler engineering and manufacturing genius gives so much beauty, quality and Performance etc".
