1955 DeSoto Fireflite Convertible

This 1955 DeSoto Fireflite is one of 775 convertible examples produced and was refurbished in the early 2000s with a repaint in white and red along with freshened chrome. A power-operated black soft top is joined by white and red upholstery, and a 291ci Hemi V8 is linked with a two-speed PowerFlite automatic transmission with a dash-mounted shifter. Equipment includes 15″ steel wheels with full covers, power steering, power brakes, and a factory AM radio. This Fireflite is now offered at no reserve by the selling dealer in Michigan with an Indiana title. The car was refurbished in the early 2000s with two-tone white and red paint along with refinished chrome. Exterior details include a power-operated black convertible top, a driver-side mirror, and front vent windows. Per the selling dealer, the power top was repaired in preparation for the sale, and the finish received wet-sanding, a polish, and a ceramic coating, while the trim and chrome elements were also polished. Touched-up paint chips are visible along with pitting on the taillight chrome and fender emblems.
