antp ◊ 2007-11-24 15:28	That's why I usually copy/paste names rather than retyping them
58Roadmaster ◊ 2007-11-26 13:22	This is a Firedome Sportsman model 43 4d hardtop. Fireflites had a medallion above the vertex of the chrome kink on th rear fenders. Sporstman script can be seen forward of gas filler door. http://www.kruse.com/news/Desoto/58Firedome.jpg
Ray B. ◊ 2007-11-26 13:33	58Roadmaster is right, Firedome Sportsman.
58Roadmaster ◊ 2007-12-15 11:09	MS2-M-41, to be exact.
58Roadmaster ◊ 2007-12-20 06:20	58Roadmaster wrote MS2-M-41, to be exact. Now, I've done it! [MS2-M-43]. I had typed model 43 earlier, but somehow I rewrote it incorrectly. Exactly what antp was talking about. Model 41 is a 4d post sedan, not a Sportsman hardtop. Oops!
58Roadmaster ◊ 2009-08-09 11:52	The car behind, another 1959 De Soto, has a very unusual blue with red top colour scheme. I wonder why this is that way.
62imperial ◊ 2010-09-16 05:26	That one could actually be silver rather than blue because of the lighting and film stock.
