Member Posts: 33 | Here is my 57 firedome. I got it a Carlisle this past summer. I'm adding disc brakes and a set of wire wheels this winter.

Expert Posts: 2002 Location: Branson, MO | Welcome and you have a very nice looking DeSoto - love the wire wheels! And the fact it has single headlights and the smaller rear window make it even more favorable to my taste. Keep us posted with your updates. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 769 Location: Oley, PA | Nice car! I remember seeing it at Carlisle last summer. It's unusual to see one without the lower color sweep. What's the story behind the rectangular plate under the Firedome script? | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 537 Location: Upstate NY | Nice car! I'm curious about the straight side trim. Was that an option or was that what you got if you ordered a solid color? My 57 Fireflite is all black with straight chrome trim but it comes up further on the front fender and has the fireflite logo. | ||

Expert Posts: 1384 Location: Ocala, Florida | Great looking car and color. I prefer these without the sweep. Very clean lines! | ||

Member Posts: 33 | I had to put the trim on. I do have the other piece for the sweep look but I like it the way it is. | ||

Expert Posts: 2002 Location: Branson, MO | Dad was a DeSoto dealer and a customer ordered a '57 Firedome 4 door sedan without a colorsweep. The car came from the factory the way he ordered it and I believe the sweep was an option. I vaguely remember some DeSoto Firesweep ads that featured a car "low priced" to compete with the Fords, Chevys, and Plymouths without the sweep and with dog dish hub caps. | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 537 Location: Upstate NY | superfatfatty - 2017-01-31 7:45 AM I'm In Rochester up by the big pond. You? I go to Rochester often and plan to go the weekend of the 11-12 as my son lives in Irondequoit off of Winton Rd just past 590. I would love to see your car. PM me with directions if that would be ok with you. | ||

Expert Posts: 1488 Location: New Castle PA | Bob, this car's trim is not what you normally got when you ordered a single-color car. It is the trim for a color-sweep car, but with only the top piece installed. | ||
