Thanks for the Add!
Just picked this up after first seeing it 20 years ago. The previous owner bought it in 1961. 383 Auto with Dual Quads. Many options.. I'll get more pics once it's up and driving.
It's going on 3 years of owning my Fireflite. With a little elbow grease, she's looking pretty good.
What was the original color combination? Was it either how it was when you first bought it, how it is now, all white, or something else? It looks great how it is now - I am just curious as to what is original.
I see from the pictures that your car has a/c; is it a factory air car or aftermarket add on?
@parnellyoung Yes it is Parnell!! Looks like a really nice car and the fact that it has factory AC. Is just even that much more fantastic!

It's Delightful, It's DeLovely, It's DeSoto!
Parnell- Just curious if the dual quad setup is original with the car or was an add on. The Adventurer engine was an available option in 1959 on all Desotos. It may or may not (delete) have come with an "Adventurer Powered" trim piece. It looks like the factory a/c setup on the Fireflite (Chrysler chassis) has some differences from the setup on the Firesweep (Dodge chassis). Hopefully you can find someone to get it set up for modern refrigerant. You have a real gem!
