1959 Desoto Firesweep Wagon
Fairly certain it is 9 passenger.
Has push button shift, electric windows, and AC
Sold AS IS WHERE IS with a Bill Of Sale
Really classy old wagon. Would really like to see after restoration. Car makes a classy statement just setting rough in the fiield.
These autos have been setting for 30 to 40 years. Car is mostly complete and fairly straight. Broken left rear window, missing instrument cluster and stiff hood hinge bend in hood, otherwise pretty much all there. Although rust happens, the car is in the dry Oklahoma panhandle where it happen much slower than most other places.
FYI-based on the VIN (M471-1959 Desoto SW made at Jefferson) and the pictures showing the front and rear fenders and the interior, the car is a Fireflite
Appears to have the very rare car phone option

Also comes with the rare 58 Dodge taillight option.

Those Dodge resembling taillights were carryovers from '57 and '58. All the MoPar wagons in '57 - '59 used the same rear quarter panels so stylists were somewhat limited as to how they could make each marque unique from the others. The Dodge and DeSoto wagons looked the most similar from the rear, but there were still differences.

Not quite sure what your saying here. The taillights on the Desoto wagon are from 58 Dodge. The 58 Dodge wagon taillights were unique to 58 Dodge wagons. 59 Dodge wagons did away with the gear teeth and instead, were cut at an angle to resemble other 59 Dodges. 57 Dodge wagon taillights were similar to 58, but without the gear teeth look. 57-9 Desoto wagons all had the hallmark triple lens arrangement, as seen in the Desoto sales catalog that is pictured.

Ron...I stand corrected. You are absolutely correct...those are indeed '58 Dodge taillights on that wagon. That is really odd!
BTW...the auction ended with the winning bid nearly $8,200.00!
