1957 DeSoto Fireflite Sedan with a Free Matching Boat. Reduced $32,900
Our DeSoto is too big for our retirement home. We are asking a reduced price of $32,900. This DeSoto may be one of the only existing original antique 1957 DeSoto Fireflites left. It is in excellent running condition and has a 341Hemi V8, rated at 295 horsepower with only 50,500 total miles. The striking two-tone paint screams 1950s! It has an original, excellent running condition 341 Hemi and a 4-barrel carburetor---enough to push this gorgeous car to more than 125 MPH! The car was garage kept and had only two owners. The engine has only 50,500 miles since the car was stored for some years. The chrome is exceptional as is the hood medallion and all trim and lettering is complete and in excellent condition. The original interior, upholstery and headliner are excellent. We added fat white-wall tires and the electrical is in excellent condition. The engine was recently rebuilt and is linked with a Torque Flite automatic transmission. It has period-correct, nostalgic features such as push a button shift and a “suicide knob” on the steering wheel.
This is one very rare and highly desirable and collectible example of one of the most outstanding designs of the late fifties. These high quality and extraordinarily unique cars were built to be able to complete long distances quickly, powered by its large 341 cid V8 engine matched to the legendary Torqueflite automatic transmission with the room and comfort of any American luxury car! This is one very desirable and collectible car for any classic American car collector or any De Soto or Chrysler enthusiast to add to a collection or just have fun in. It is a great investment that's sure to appreciate over the years. Clear title, wire transfer/cash only, buyer responsible for transport. $32,900.
Free Boat! The Desoto comes with a free 1959 Herters Flying Fish fiberglass boat with big fins and paint to match for a unique pairing with the DeSoto The boat is from the 1950’s like the DeSoto, when fiberglass boat builders realized they could copy the shapes of big fins on popular cars of the time. The boat has been restored with new carpet, seats, upholstery and gel coat paint. The trim, hood ornaments and medallions are excellent. The 1960 45-horsepower 4-cylinder outboard motor needs work. It was bought as a show piece. This head-turning car and boat pair have won several trophies in local car shows. A newer trailer and tires are included. All for free!
