The short answer is, no, Desoto had three stacked lights,
56-59. Of course, it would be easy to swap out the regular taillights for a
Chrysler taillight housing. At the Macungie show last year, there was a 56
Desoto with 56 Chrysler taillights.

Subject: [Chrysler300] Unusual
DeSoto?
Last evening I was washing my 300H and my
Challenger in the driveway and an unusual car went down the road. It
was a very nice looking 1957 or 58 DeSoto, salmon and white in
color, could have been a Firesweep or Sportsman 2 door hardtop. The
unusual thing was, it had what appeared to be 58 Chrysler taillights. I
thought Desotos had three stacked round lights, but this looked like the 58
Chrysler lights. Anyone know anything about this? I know a lot of DeSoto
sheetmetal was shared, but did DeSoto use Chrysler lights in any of their
models in 57 or 58? I have never seen this car in my neighborhood
before, so naturally, I noticed.
