Big Dave ◊ 2007-07-14 18:06	I'll go with DeSoto but a little newer, more like a 56. The beginning of Chrysler Corp's 'The Forward Look'. 53s were kind of drab compared to 56s. -- Last edit: 2007-07-14 18:15:00

Yvon52 ◊ 2007-07-15 00:57	The wheel-covers are 1956 DeSoto ones !!!
Ray B. ◊ 2007-07-15 11:29	Sure you're right folks. I don't know where my mind was when I wrote 1953. If Yvon is right about the wheelcovers (hard to say but they do seem to have be some red in the center and thre wasn't in 55) let's say 56. The upper stainless on the spear was thicker in 56 but, in my book, only on the Fireflite Sportsman and convertible. Su this one should be a 1956 Firedome.
