1959 DeSoto Firedome Sportsman 2-Door

This 1959 DeSoto Firedome Sportsman coupe was built in Windsor, Ontario in Canada, and it was acquired by the selling dealer in 2009. Finished in blue with a white roof over white vinyl and gray cloth upholstery, the car is powered by a 383ci V8 paired with a push-button three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Features include MSD ignition, power steering, power brakes, wheel covers, whitewall tires, dual mirrors and antennas, a two-barrel carburetor, and a dual exhaust system. The car is finished in blue with a white roof and full-length side sweeps culminating in tail fins at the rear. Exterior features include hooded headlights, three-lens taillight towers, and brightwork consisting of the grille, bumper assemblies, fender-mounted split-post mirrors, side-sweep and rocker-panel moldings, window surrounds, dual antennas, downturned exhaust finishers, and badging. Steel 14â?³ wheels wearing branded hubcaps are mounted with whitewall tires. The steering is power assisted, as are the four-wheel drum brakes. The cabin features bench seats trimmed in white vinyl with patterned gray cloth inserts, matching door panels, a black dash pad, a white headliner with exposed chrome ribs, and blue carpeting. Amenities include a push-button AM radio, a heater/defroster, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, a rear-seat speaker, dome lights, and an under-dash tissue dispenser. A two-tone steering wheel with a semi-circular chrome horn ring fronts a 120-mph horizontal-sweep speedometer and an electric clock flanked by gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature.
