1959 Chrysler DeSoto Firesweep

DescriptionRARE BEAST, BELIEVED ORIG. 361 V8, PUSH BUTTON AUTO, SUPER SOLID/STRAIGHT/CLEAN! Defrost, AM Radio, Heat, Power Steering, Owner's Manual, Vinyl Interior. Less than 5,500 of these were made. Inside the red, white, and chrome motif continues. The two-tone vinyl bench seats have some great intricate white/gray texture, and so do the matching inserts in the doors. The level of quality is apparent on this one the moment you sit behind the stylized two-tone wheel w/chrome ring, and see the clarity of the full gauge package. And despite this car's size, everything from the heat/defrost controls to the cool push-button transmission is all within easy reach. When you open the hood, not only does everything look nice and tidy, but also it appears highly original. In fact, this V8 shows many signs of being the 361 cubic-inch installed at the Los Angeles factory. Not only is the motor date-correct, but also the date code on the intake corresponds. It even has the period-correct three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission that is controlled by those nifty optional push buttons on the dash. Complete with owner's manual and other DeSoto literature from 1959, this is a rare opportunity at an exceptional classic coupe. Don't let it slip away, call today! Read More
