Equipment
Design study that was born as a Fireflite convertible.Chrome wire wheels, whitewall tires, pushbutton radio, power windows, power steering, power brakes, Hi-way Hi-Fi.
Condition
Very good paint, chrome and interior. Done to very high standards, but only a rearview mirror view of what DeSoto could have built in 1956, (i.e., there was no 1956 DeSoto Fireflite Adventurer Convertible built).
Market commentary
Sold for $187,000 at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in earlier this year, this is a cool car and one-of-a-kind. Its value is in the eye (and bank account) of the beholder and it's impossible to argue with the Staluppi Collection bidders' conclusion.
