This 1959 DeSoto Firedome Sportsman coupe was built in Windsor, Ontario in Canada, and it was acquired by the selling dealer in 2009. Finished in blue with a white roof over white vinyl and gray cloth upholstery, the car is powered by a 383ci V8 paired with a push-button three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Features include MSD ignition, power steering, power brakes, wheel covers, whitewall tires, dual mirrors and antennas, a two-barrel carburetor, and a dual exhaust system. The car is finished in blue with a white roof and full-length side sweeps culminating in tail fins at the rear. Exterior features include hooded headlights, three-lens taillight towers, and brightwork consisting of the grille, bumper assemblies, fender-mounted split-post mirrors, side-sweep and rocker-panel moldings, window surrounds, dual antennas, downturned exhaust finishers, and badging. Steel 14″ wheels wearing branded hubcaps are mounted with whitewall tires. The steering is power assisted, as are the four-wheel drum brakes. The cabin features bench seats trimmed in white vinyl with patterned gray cloth inserts, matching door panels, a black dash pad, a white headliner with exposed chrome ribs, and blue carpeting. Amenities include a push-button AM radio, a heater/defroster, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, a rear-seat speaker, dome lights, and an under-dash tissue dispenser. A two-tone steering wheel with a semi-circular chrome horn ring fronts a 120-mph horizontal-sweep speedometer and an electric clock flanked by gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature.
