Vehicle Description
This DeSoto Adventurer comes with a 345ci HEMI V8 engine wearing
dual in-line 4-barrel carburetors. A 3-speed push-button
TorqueFlite transmission manages the HEMI power on its way to the
rear tires. The exterior features pronounced rear fins and a
triple-taillight configuration that culminates with integrated
exhaust outlets right below them. Other highlights on this
Adventurer include Chrysler's torsion-bar front suspension system,
power drum brakes and steering. The car's interior offers a 60/40
split-bench seat up front and a full-width rear seat. The cockpit
is trimmed in gold and white to match the car's exterior hues.
Golden threads were woven into the carpet to give it an even
richer, if not three-dimensional, look and feel. Less than 500
Adventurer convertibles were produced during the brand's 3-year
production run, spanning from 1957 through 1959.
