1957 Desoto Sportsman Custom
Car History
It is not very often that you ever run across a car that is unique.
We have such an example in the 1957 Desoto Sportsman Custom we have
here at Adventure Classics.
It has all those sleek lines of the old school Desoto but built on
a Chrysler 300 chassis with a 5.7 Hemi to power it down the
road.
Engine & Drivetrain
This is not your typical 1957 Desoto as it has the body dropped
over the chassis of a Dodge 300 so you have all the power,
handling, and reliability of a modern car with he looks of a
vintage Desoto.
The Sportsman is powered by a 5.7 liter Chrysler Hemi engine with
Featuring rear-wheel-drive with over 350 horsepower.
It sits in the clean and tidy engine compartment and looks great
with its black and silver fuel rail covers and center engine cover
with its 5.7 and Hemi logos showing as well as the open element
custom air cleaner intake.
The 300 chassis makes this Desoto a great handling car for its
size. It of course has a much better suspension with all modern
power and handling with the power steering, power disc brakes,
larger custom chrome mag wheels and performance tires, and the
precise automatic transmission.
Our stylish looking 1957 custom is a very solid and straight
automobile that makes this car a nice driver.
Interior
The interior of our Desoto is from the Chrysler 300 also and shows
true craftsmanship of the designers at Chrysler. The cabin is
spacious and upgraded and is quite luxurious with
it's tan seats that are upholstered in premium Nappa Leather and
have perforated inserts to enhance the comfort of the
passengers.
The 8-way power adjustable front seats come with heated and
ventilated features and 4-way lumbar adjustment. There are real
wood and satin chrome accents all over the interior to make it
flawless, premium and luxurious.
Right at the front of the driver is a multi-functioning,
leather-wrapped, five-spoke steering wheel with real wood accents.
The addition of the tilt and telescoping steering column allows the
driver to adjust and position the steering wheel according to the
driver's preferences.
Also included are all the other 300 amenities including the digital
display, premium stereo system, Led lighted instrument panel and
dashboard with all the factory gauges and clock, air conditioning,

Exterior
The exterior of our custom is a deep, rich, and brilliant black
paint job over the sleek stretched flowing lines of this Desoto
body.
It has been chopped and smoothed with custom grill, front and rear
pans, and is something that must be seen in the pictures or in
person. All the work that has been done on this ride is top notch
and professional.
