That is what he told me. Sometimes pre-order requests may affect quantities produced, although for the 1957 DeSoto  I believe only the tan and orange hardtop was shown. Anyway you look at this, quantities are very limited. I have learned to make purchase decisions for new releases very quickly. As you say, exclusivity.

Yes! exclusivity!Â
Now I am curious about the total numbers, so I'll shoot Buz an email and ask him.
He mentioned these to me last year, but I didn't pre-order one, but I did get the red and charcoal hardtop.....beautiful model.
Buz also sent me all 3 variation colors to the 1950 Buick sedanette.
I have my H/T on order and it is a beauty. I was considering this model as a candidate for the NABCC 2023 Club Car (see photo), but Buz beat me to it, I am also a fan of the extended antennas. This model is stunning.

Nice job, Buz, with the convertibles and the H/T.

Did you order the red and grey version? check out my pics on a separate post.
Directly from Buz concerning the numbers produced and what he has left for the WMCE 1957 De Soto Fireflites, and I quoteÂ
'We had the factory build 20 Sahara Tan/Dusty Orange hardtops (1/2 of them with wire wheels), 10 Sahara Tan/Dusty Orange open convertibles, and 10 Fiesta Red/Charcoal Grey Hardtops all with wire wheels.
We have 1 Tan HT and 4 Red HT left.'
and I think one of us said they received the only convertible with wire wheels.
