1940-1949

In the 1940s came some improvement in DeSoto design including a longer 139.5 inch wheelbase. Chrysler's Fluid Drive, which allowed the driver to start and stop without using the clutch became available on the 1940 DeSoto. The Custom Convertible Coupe was retained, but the Convertible Sedan was not.

DeSoto suffered a crippling strike at the start of the 1940 production year. Prices for the 1940 DeSoto ranged from $845.00 to $995.00. Production did increased 11,000 units to 65,500 units which was slightly more than the 1939 DeSoto.

In 1941, DeSoto sold more American Automobiles than any other year. Production in 1941 was at 97,000 units and put De Soto in 10th place among other auto makers in total sales. Success was owed to a heavy facelift which featured lower hoods and bolder fronts. The grille had "Teeth" that would remain a DeSoto trademark up to 1955.

1942 DeSoto

1942 was another year for major restyling when DeSoto featured "Airfoil" hidden headlamps that were hidden except for night vision. Hidden headlamps first used on the 1936-1937 Cord were a first for the Chrysler Corporation. The grille was new and extended across the entire front. The engine used was a 115 horsepower six cylinder.
1942 DeSoto Model series included the S-10S Deluxe and S-10C Custom with 15 different body styles. 1942 body styles included the $1,000 Business Coupe, Club Coupe, Convertible Coupe, two door Sedan, four door Sedan, Town Sedan and a Limo.

1943-1945 DeSoto Goes To War

From early 1942 to 1945 DeSoto produced arms for the United States war effort, including parts for guns, bodies for bombers and vehicles parts. Most of DeSoto's war years advertising included the statement "War Bonds Are Your Personal Investment For Victory".

DeSoto returned to civilian automobile production in 1946. The drive train and chassis were the same as the 1942 models. Some restyling in body styles occurred in 1946. The DeSoto Suburban was new and the costliest of the all 46 DeSoto's. The 1947 and 1948 DeSoto was based on the 1946 DeSoto. All wore a mild facelift of prewar DeSoto styling.

DeSoto was fully redesigned for 1949, as were other Chrysler makes. However, postwar styling was dull compared to GM and Ford. Styling was boxy and upright make the 1949 cars shorter looking. The lady hood ornament was replace by bust of Hernando DeSoto. Postwar inflation was affecting car prices all over including Desoto. In 1949 The DeSoto Motor Corporation produced a $3,000.00 woody wagon that had an all steel body. The Suburban was up over $500.00. Overall, 1949 was less than spectacular with volume at about 92,500 units. Sales of the S-13-2 Custom out performed the S-11S DeLuxe which was a sign that for 1950 the consumer wanted greater luxury.

Thought to live in portions of eastern Afghanistan as well as the Shishi Kuh Valley, located in the Chitral region of North Pakistan, the Barmanu, which translate into "The Hairy One", is often thought to be related to early hominids and descriptions generally resemble the Neanderthal. As is the case with other sightings of man like hairy hominids, accounts of this creature are often accompanied by tales of a horrible stench, a trait which is attributed to the creature's wilderness lifestyle and hair covered body. Legends of this creature have been told by the locals for centuries, but it was not until the early 1990's that the legend would receive international attention.

During the early 1900's several Spanish expeditions into the Shishi Kih Valley region of North Pakistan learned of the Barmanu through retelling of the legend by local people. The tales of the Barmanu eventually caught the ear of zoologist Jordi Magraner who traveled to the region with medical doctor Anne Mallasse and another team member. Between 1992 and 1994 Magraner and his team chronicaled not only eyewitness reports but personal experiences including grunting noise thought to have been made by a primitive voice box as well as discovering ape like foot prints. Sadly Jordi Magraner was assassinated by one of his Pakistani guides on August 2nd 2002, less than a month before he planned to return to Europe with his findings.

The expedition leaders would later tell reporters, "Eyewitnesses shown pictures of a selection of human and human like creatures, consistently selected the image of a primitive man found preserved in ice some twenty years ago by a Belgian team. According to Loren Coleman this is a confused reference to the allegedly humanoid, or model to skeptics, that Bernard Heuvelmans and Ivan T. Sanderson described frozen in a block of ice, which later became known as the Minnesota Iceman.

In 1995, after an Unsolved Mysteries segment on the above mentioned Minnesota Iceman, Loren Coleman, a consultant for that episode, was contacted by Pakistanis who claimed to know where the body of a similar creature was buried. Even though the informants did not respond to follow up communications, this is interesting because the link to Pakistan and the Barmanu was not mentioned in the broadcast.

In late 2007, Loren Coleman made a shipment of several field guides and other books to US troops stationed in an area of Afghanistan known for some unusual hominid activity. Although nothing substancial has come from this to date, Loren Coleman did receive a response email from a Mark Langenkamp who at the time was stationed somewhere in Eastern Afghanistan. He writes:

I got your book in the mail today! Thank you again for sending it. When I am done reading it, I will leave it here at the front, in the small library that we have of used books. I'll put your contact information in the front cover so even after I'm gone, you can be notified should our "Barmanu" be seen.

Lately, we've been shooting a lot of artillery here. I doubt the Barmanu like that too much. At least, I've not heard of anything resembling Barmanu coming in close to investigate the thunderous sound makers.

I'll keep in touch from time to time to report what I have or have not seen. Right now, however, I've got a book to read!

The Evidence
There is no physical evidence to date that would support the existence of Barmanu. Eyewitness accounts and the personal experiences of several expeditions into the area, though not physical evidence, are all we have to tell us that something strange roams the mountainous region.

The Sightings
In 1987, a Sheppard by the name of Lal Khan, living in Pakistan, claims to have been witness to a Barmanu.

Description: Timber rattlesnakes, which are called canebrake rattlesnake in the Coastal Plain of the Southeast, are large, heavy bodied snakes with the characteristic rattles on the end of the tail. Adults range from 30-60 in (76-152 cm) with the record being more than 6 feet (183 cm) long. Canebrakes are usually gray and may even have a pink hue and a pinkish, yellow, orange, or brown stripe running the length of the back. Timber rattlers are typically more brown or yellowish and may even be black. Both forms have solid black tails that appear almost velvet and black chevrons on the back and sides with the point of the (V) pointing forward. The babies are miniatures of the adults but are usually a lighter gray and have only a single button (rattle) on the tip of the tail at birth. Males get larger than females.

Range and Habitat: Timber and canebrake rattlesnakes have a wide distribution in the eastern United States but the species is absent from most of Florida. This snake occurs in a wide variety of terrestrial habitat including lowland cane thickets, high areas around swamps and river floodplains, hardwood and pine forests, mountainous areas, and rural habitats in farming areas. They typically become reduced in numbers in highly urbanized or areas of housing development.

Habits: Timber and canebrake rattlesnakes become active above ground by late spring and can be seen periodically until the onset of cold weather in late fall. Canebrakes are active during both day and night but spend the majority of their time coiled in ambush positions ready to capture prey.

These rattlesnakes hibernate during cold weather. Timber rattlers congregate in dens in mountainous areas whereas canebrakes often overwinter alone in stump holes or beneath ground cover. They eat mostly small rodents when young, and large individuals kill and eat squirrels and rabbits. Females usually do not reach maturity until at least 5 years old and typically wait at least 2 or 3 years between litters. The live young are born in late summer or early fall around the time that courtship and mating occurs. Large male canebrake rattlesnakes are often seen in late summer or early fall in search of mates. Although reaching large sizes, most individuals are docile when encountered in the wild and often will remain coiled or stretched out without moving. If threatened, however, they will not hesitate to deliver a serious bite.

Conservation Status: Timber and canebrake rattlesnakes are not protected in the southern states and the species is not considered to be in serious danger, but populations are steadily decreasing over the geographic range, primarily due to habitat destruction and other human activities. In some areas of the northeast timber rattlesnakes have declined dramatically and they are protected in several northern states. Road construction that crosses the migratory range of this species also posses a threat as some individuals move long distances and commonly become road kill. Additionally, communal denning of timber rattlesnakes makes them particularly vulnerable to persecution by humans.
