The DeSoto Owners Club of Maryland, Inc. is a non-profit, social club organization founded in 1976, and is a chapter of the National DeSoto Club. The club has an award-winning, bi-monthly publication, "DeSoto Diary" for our members.  There are monthly club breakfast/luncheon meetings and sponsored/co-sponsored car shows and other events (such as vehicle workshops) in the MD, DC, VA, PA, and DE areas.  You do not have to own a DeSoto to be a member!  We welcome all who appreciate the marque, even those who choose to modify their DeSotos.  Our members are diverse and spread out beyond the Maryland region.
