HIGHLIGHTS: Original styling 5.7L Gen III Hemi 4L80E Automatic
Transmission Wilwood power disc brakes BODY OVERVIEW: This 1955
DeSoto Fireflite Sportsman retains its original, elegant lines and
classic styling. The body has been preserved, maintaining the
authenticity and character that make this car a true vintage
beauty. There are some dents in the roof, but otherwise
imperfections are at a minimum. Please see photos. PAINT CONDITION
OVERVIEW: The paint appears to be largely original and shows off
its age gracefully. While there are some imperfections such as
chips and paint bubbles as expected with a car of this vintage,
these minor flaws do not detract from this DeSoto's beauty! Please
see photos. INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: Step inside and be
transported to the 1950s. The interior appears largely original and
presents very well, showcasing the luxurious design and
craftsmanship of Forward Look Mopars. The lack of interior
customization, despite the Hemi under the hood, is one of our
favorite aspects of this vehicle. All that 1950s charm is still
present! MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Beneath the hood lies a 5.7L
fuel-injected Gen III Hemi, paired with a GM 4L80E overdrive
automatic transmission, offering the best of both worlds: vintage
looks with modern reliability and performance! Additionally,
Wilwood power disc brakes on all four corners provide superior
stopping power, and polished Pro Comp wheels give it a subtle yet
striking update. WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: Timeless Style:
Maintains its original 1950s charm with tasteful modern upgrades.
Performance: Modern Hemi engine and transmission provide power and
reliability. Safety: Upgraded Wilwood power disc brakes ensure
superior braking performance. Subtle Modern Touches: Polished Pro
Comp wheels enhance its appearance without deviating from its
classic look. WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: Original Paint
Imperfections: The largely original paint has some imperfections,
which might bother those seeking a flawless finish. Preserved
Interior Wear: The interior, while well-preserved, shows some
age-related wear typical of a car from the 1950s. DOES IT NEED
ANYTHING? Although this is a running and driving car ready to see
some action, there are a few things not working including the
reverse lights and parking brake. The oil pressure gauge is also
not working. The original speedometer is installed and intact, but
a GPS speedometer is in place atop the dash. WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING

classic car enthusiasts who appreciates a tasteful blend of vintage
style and modern performance. It's ideal for those looking for a
