Classic Metal Works recently released 1950 DeSoto 4-door sedan model in HO scale. They available in 5 colors and started to popping up on eBay in $12-$16 range.
I've just ordered some from this site: http://www.modeltrainstuff.com/ (search for "Desoto") where they are on sale for $8.99.
I've been looking for 1950 model for as long as I own this car (for about 15 years) and had only seen it once on eBay in 1:43 scale. It was sold for $510 - way beyond my budget for a model, http://www.ebay.com/itm/170876028247 so I was pretty excited to find this new release, even in such a small scale 
That's great! Nice model.
I know how you feel; those '57 Firesweep models are really difficult to find also.
Congratulations!
