Once in a while a very clean and honest car that has been well taken care of its WHOLE life comes up for sale. ONCE IN A WHILE!!! This 1959 DeSoto Fireflite Sportsman hardtop is one of 1393 that were made that year - that's it. That year they came with the 383 c.i. motor, swivel seats, air suspension in the rear, electronic headlight dimmer, and push-button heater controls. This car has it all and loads of options ------ power windows, power seat, rear seat speaker, dual exhaust, outside left remote control mirror, touch-tuner radio, triad horn, and stone deflectors. All the power options work and the radio works well. Heater and defroster work in all speeds. Swivel seats work perfectly. The car has had one repaint (older paint job) and the chrome is original and still looks good. Interior is untouched since 1959!!!!! It is in amazing condition. Mechanically, she can be driven anywhere. Earlier this year she received a complete and full tune-up alone with a radiator flush. If you look closely at the pictures a lot of the original clips are on all the hoses still!!! The jiffy jet bag (from what I can tell) is not a repro and very well the original one and is still soft. The car is stored in my heated garage. Body wise and underneath are amazing. I will post pictures of underneath later today. A collector's dream. I also have the original owner's manual. I have enjoyed this car and now time for someone else to enjoy.
