Vehicle Description
1956 DeSoto Firedome finished in Sage Green with Green interior.
Odometer reads 76,051 miles. Powered by a 330c.i. Hemi V8 producing
230hp and backed by an optional Powerflite 2-speed push-button
automatic transmission. The Firedome has a classic 1950's look with
some added flair. The color options and redesigns that happened
over the years were ones that pushed the company to meet or exceed
expectations, and now you can enjoy the same car that led to that
success.DeSoto first introduced the Firedome in 1952. In 1955 they
redesigned the car with what was considered a "forward look" at the
time. This included some bright color packages many people weren't
accustomed to. This was also the year that the Firedome took over
as the "entry-level model" taking the title from the DeSoto
Powermaster. Moving forward to the model year 1956, the "forward
look" was freshened up and the electrical system was updated to
12-volt. This was also the year that the Hemi V8 grew to 330c.i.
and an optional Powerflite automatic transmission was added.
Because all these changes led to some amazing and mechanically
sound cars, Desoto actually outsold Chrysler for the 1956 model
year. By 1959 the Firedome was no longer available. DeSoto
themselves soon followed and ended their run as a company in
1961.This car features; 4,120lb curb weight, left hand door mirror,
rear view mirror, push-button AM radio with rear seat speakers,
