In 1959, the VIN was also listed on the data plate, which for a Firesweep should be on the top of the passenger cowl under the hood. Do you have that tag? It seems that might be the easiest solution to your problem if you do. Also, 1959 DeSotos had a sticker on the underside of the glovebox liner that had the VIN contained on it as well. This is easily visible if you stick your head under the dash and look up.

According to the information on 60 DeSotos on this website, there was only a Fireflite and Adventurer produced for 1960. Of course, maybe export models were labeled Firesweep. Please update us on this. Thanks.
