Thanks, Mark; looks like it might be worth a look?
The paint colour is much closer to "Sea Foam" than the ad's listed "Green Mist" (aka "Mist Green") paint colour, which was a much lighter, Firesweep-only colour and only during the 1957 model year.
Good deal (unless the new paint is hiding a world of hurt. )
That new paint is 15 years old according to the ad. I would think that if there were any cancerous problems that they would have shown themselves over the last 15 years. Of course one never truly knows... Looks like a pretty nice car from that one pic.

It's Delightful, It's DeLovely, It's DeSoto!
I pulled up the Craig's List link and it's been deleted. So my guess is that the car is no longer available. Looks nice though.
