Vehicle Description
This 1955 DeSoto Firedome S22 Station Wagon is a rare gem,
capturing the essence of 1950s automotive ingenuity. The red and
black two-tone paint job is bold, a true throwback to an era of
style and substance. The body lines are complemented by 15-inch
wheels wrapped in 235/75R15 Milestar Touring tires, ready to take
on any road with confidence. The distinctive tailgate and chrome
accents showcase the attention to detail that went into this full
restoration.
Inside, the Firedome continues to impress. The black and white
vinyl bench seats, accented with houndstooth inserts, create a
striking interior environment. The aftermarket floating center
console adds modern convenience without compromising the vintage
aesthetic. Air conditioning keeps the cabin comfortable, while the
original style DeSoto wheel, now with a leather wrap, and Lokar
shifter enhance the driving experience. The cargo area features
beautifully finished wood and metal flooring, adding to the wagon's
charm.
Powering this remarkable wagon is the numbers-matching 291 Hemi V8
engine, a powerplant exclusive to the 1955 DeSoto Firedome. While
the engine bay showcases a mix of original-style components and
modern upgrades, such as an aluminum intake manifold, Edelbrock
EVS2 carburetor, and a 12V electrical system, it retains its
authentic character. The 700R4 4-speed automatic overdrive
transmission effortlessly handles the Hemi's power, delivering a
smooth and enjoyable driving experience. The factory-style DeSoto
suspension, featuring updated components, ensures a comfortable
ride, while the power drum brakes provide confident stopping
power.
