1956 DeSoto Firedome Seville
No Reserve. This 1956 DeSoto Firedome captures the bold, chrome-laden styling that made Chrysler Corporation's "Forward Look" era so memorable. Finished in an eye-catching red, the Firedome features the dramatic two-door hardtop profile, sweeping side trim, wraparound glass, prominent grille work and distinctive rear styling that helped establish DeSoto as one of the most recognizable American marques of the mid-1950s. Inside, the cabin continues the period character with its broad bench seating, expansive dashboard and generous use of brightwork and contrasting trim.Power comes from DeSoto's 330-cubic-inch Hemi V8, an engine family highly regarded for its smooth torque and advanced hemispherical combustion-chamber design. The Firedome was positioned as a stylish, well-appointed V8 model in the DeSoto lineup, combining strong performance with the comfort expected of an upscale mid-century American automobile. With its unmistakable 1950s design, Hemi power and increasingly collectible DeSoto nameplate, this Firedome offers a striking opportunity for the enthusiast seeking a distinctive alternative to the more commonly seen Chevrolets, Fords and Pontiacs of the period. MILEAGE: 81714. VIN: 55306030.
