This is a rarely seen 1959 Desoto Firesweep 2-door hardtop coupe. The Desoto Firesweep was produced by the Chrysler Corporation and sold under the Desoto name from 1957 through 1959. Such as their signature tailfins; the front clip was based on the Dodge Coronet and the rest was mostly true to Desotos unique design language. The most telling feature is the headlight design, oused under heavily chromed lids typical of Desoto. A Firesweep could seat six passengers and was available as a four-door sedan, ive-door station wagon, wo-door coup, nd two-door convertible; with two-door models being the rarest. Power was provided by Chryslers 361 V8 producing 295 hp. Unfortunately after declining sales numbers 1959 was the last year of production for Firesweep.
