Ken: Do you have a copy of the 55 sales folder?
I believe there is a picture of your car-2 tone green-no sweep with a view of the interior in the folder
It's a starting point
Check eBay and check what the vendors are selling
Perhaps one of our posters can post the pictures for Ken
FYI-Do you have the Fireflite emblems for the fron fenders? They are the same for 55-59. The 55 guys will have to help you regarding the Powerflite piece for the rear end
BTW, you have a sedan, not a hardtop. Yes, the top is hard, but it's not a hardtop. A hardtop, by definition, does not have a B pillar (behind the front doors) supporting the top. De Soto did make four-door hardtops, but not until 1956.
Thanks for the information. I am learning alot in just a few days.

I don't have these pieces yet. I am slowly geting around to see what I am missing and will work on this. My main priority is getting the mechanical work donw and interior and will then focus on the exterior. I want to replace the chrome on the window and front fender because those are the first two things I see when I walk into my garage. I think I may have to start parking on the other side of the garage so that side isn't facing me.
