2491tj ◊ 2007-04-01 22:32	1959 De Soto Sportsman Convertible,..only 186 built.
58Roadmaster ◊ 2007-04-02 06:22	Firesweep Convertible 2dr [415], no front (or rear I assume) bumper guards. The Sportsman was not available in 1959 as a convertible. This being a Firesweep, it is 1 of 596 built. (p.93 Robinson, John G., 2006, Standard Catalog of 1950s Chrysler, Iola, WI, USA, Krause Publications. -- Last edit: 2007-04-02 06:32:36
58Roadmaster ◊ 2007-04-02 06:23	Excellent find! We need all the late-production-year De Sotos we can get. Thank You!!! I must have this movie. -- Last edit: 2007-04-02 06:30:06
58Roadmaster ◊ 2007-04-02 06:28	The same book says that this car in top condition would be worth 38,000 US dollars. However, it also prices the Adventurer 2dr convertible as 55,000, before two of them each sold for well over 200,000 US dollars recently at auction. My guess for this car is 2-3 times the price listed. -- Last edit: 2007-04-02 06:28:31

andre1969 ◊ 2008-07-10 23:08	I think that car is a Firedome. The Firesweep's wheelbase was four inches shorter, and they took that all out just ahead of the firewall, which made the front fenders shorter. The Firedome and Fireflite had their names on the front fenders, but I don't think the Firesweep's front fenders were long enough to put that script there.

It's a Firedome with he simple side trim, rarely seen. Usely on the factory pictures, th Firedome has elaborated optional side trim.
58Roadmaster ◊ 2009-01-23 11:06	andre1969's comments are possibly true. Will have to ask some Mopar groups about this.
