When John Bono posts his Which Year 1:1 car comparisons/vote on the Lounge each day, I sometimes like to look at the models in my collection that compare to his choices.
For today's look, I checked my models for a "57 DeSoto, I was surprised to see that I have 9 of them.
Here's a few photos of a couple.
1957 DeSoto Fireflite Convertible in Sahara Sand & Dusty Orange, WMCE
and in the same colors, a Fireflite Sportsman Hardtop
Not sure why I these two in the same colors, but they work and it's a great combination. and I had to have those wire wheels on the hardtop.
This is a far older release from Western Models, a Firesweep 4dr Sedan w/single headlights in Fiesta Red & Black
the last '57 I added to my collection was this Fireflite Convertible, issued in 2024. It is in Azure Blue & White w/a Light blue top.
Thanks, John, for your brilliant posts and the daily look back I get from my collection.

I especially like that blue convertible.
1957 was a nice year for DeSoto cars. I only have one, the sand and orange convertible.
