Can anyone tell me: besides the line embossed vinyl on the front seat of a '57 Fireflite 4 door sedan, was there an embossed DeSoto logo or crest on the seat as well? Mine is too deteriorated to tell what was there, and I can't seem to find a picture of a seat from a 4 door sedan...

My 57 Fireflite has a crest in the white part (upper on mine) of the backrest both front and rear. If I remember correctly you and I have the same interior brown and white vinyl. I sent a picture to SMS and they can reproduce the logo.

Mine has the "grey" interior, which seems more a gold and grey/tan colour. But the heat and humidity from living in Missouri for most of it's life has taken it's toll. I'm going with the colours I see under the edges of the door panels, and under the seat...
