 :) Hi every one thanks for the welcome ,to davidpolliok the car has a 23" 230 cubic inch motor, as far as i know it was assembled in Detroit as a export model.to w l davis i hope i may be able to contribute as well as receive, i have owned Chrysler products for some years and when possible do most of the work on them myself . In the past i have owned a 1938 Dodge,1937 Plymouth bodied Chrysler, at the present time my 54 plus a 1939 s6 Desoto which i am currently restoring. I am a retired car painter so also do all my own panel and paint work,Yes NZ  is a beautiful country but then i could be biased.  Iam new to computers so i havent worked out how to down load a photo yet but will get someone to do it for me as soon as possible

How about some photos of that "DeSoto" so everyone will know what you're talking about!

Welcome to the forum, Elmo.
There is a lot to be learned here, whether you are asking questions or
just reading.  I have always thought that New Zealand would be a beautiful
place to visit.

Welcome, Rex, I live in Canada and recently overhauled the engine of a 38 Dodge which was brought here by its owner from NZ. It was fascinating to study all the differences required to make the car in right hand drive format. This particular Dodge was built in the USA and exported for final trim and assembly in NZ. It is the USA model, not a disguised Plymouth which was unusual to find in NZ.  I recall that a sticker on the dash panel said Amuri Motors, Aukland.
I would be interested to know if your car has the 23 inch American engine or the 25" Canadian engine            ( cylinder head length)    DPollock
