The 1956 DeSoto Fireflite Sportsman V8 enters the Space Age. Beautiful tutone exterior is outdone by a 3-tone interior. Powered by a 330cid hemi "Fire Flite" V8 with push button 3 speed automatic, it was a powerful, sporty cruiser. An almost identical car recently sold for $120,000. It's also a great model by DM with lots of detail.

Nice model. Your photos inspired me to re-shoot my black/gold one.

 My Classic Car had a 1959 DeSoto on this morning's episode.

What's not to like about both models. Some are critical of the wheel covers on the Adventure because they don't like the gold...I say if it's true to the 1/1 then I like it.
