>1955 DeSoto Firedome 2DHT. My wife's cousin bought the car new. The >car is Heather Rose and Sapphire White. This must be a mistake.... Those colors were offered on the 1955 Dodge, NOT the 1955 DeSoto. They did have a Light Taffy / Copper Rose color combo, but that was only available in California to my knowledge. Could the car be Emberglow and White?? How do I determine if >my car is a Sportsman or just a regular Firedome 2DHT? The Price Guide >magazine lists value for both models. This is easy... the Firedome Sportsman says "Sportsman" on the rear roof pillar. In addition, the Sportsman has a "DeS" emblem in a chrome bezel right above it. The Special Coupe only has the DeSoto Eagle Crest on the rear roof pillar. Chances are it's a Special, not too many Firedome Sportsmans were built in 1955. Good Luck, FireTone |
