The DeSoto Firedome was a full-size automobile produced between
1952 and 1959 by DeSoto Automobiles, a division of the Chrysler
Corporation. Introduced as DeSoto's premium line of vehicles in
1953 and 1954, the Firedome also occupied the least expensive
position in the model lineup during the 1955 and 1956 model years
before it was reclassified as a mid-range vehicle offered by DeSoto
between 1957 and 1959. In 1955, Chrysler dropped its 6-cylinder
DeSoto Powermaster series and added the topline Fireflite series,
pushing the Firedome down to entry-level status. Still, the
Firedome was not a cheap offering, retaining its V8 engine, but
increasing the 276 c.i. displacement to 291 c.i. with a larger
bore, a power boost to 185 horsepower, and comes with a host of
features and interior upgrades that were lacking in the Powermaster
series. While Powerflite 2-speed automatics were advertised as
optional transmission equipment on the Firedome, officially the car
was also offered with a 3-speed manual as standard equipment,
although few were produced.
