Location: So. Cal		That's gotta be a '57. It has '57 front sheet metal, '57 bumper, '57 side trim and '57 single headlamps, etc. 350's wouldn't have come in a '57, so I am wondering if it really is a "B" motor, or if he is really confused. I suspect the latter.

Location: Grenoble - France		And rear fenders show Fireflite, whereas front-end is Firesweep. Confusing.

Not that these will help but:

Supposedly 57 (but I see four headlights)



Supposedly 58 (looks like Fireflites got the stainless door and pillar trims, whereas the Firesweeps were just painted (?)



The one in question seems to have just paint so Firesweep (?) (despite the Fireflite badge (which could have been swapped on back in the day - the original badge engineering)
Just noticed the side sweep trim line differences between 57 and 58. The car in question has the 57 side sweep trim lines to go with the 57 two headlights = it's most likely a 57 not a 58.

Location: Branson, MO		Not really sure what was going on but the listing was ended by the seller because of an error in the listing - so it says.

Location: Parts Unknown		Desoto sold wagons on two wheelbases, one on the DeSoto platform,
the other (Firesweep) on the Dodge platform. The two are easily disting-
-uishable by the DeSoto front end sheetmetal vs. the Dodge front sheet-
-metal. Because the frames are different lengths, one front end cannot
be swapped onto the other kind of frame.

For reasons that defy my understanding, Firesweep wagons seem to
survive in numbers consistent with other cars, however the long wheel
base DeSoto wagons are quite rare today.
