Continuing with my DeSoto models and I'll stick w/the 1955 year for 1 more post.
The 1st model is a very nice 1955 Fireflite Convertible, a LE #08 of 10, issued by Conquest Models via Route 66 Models in Surf White & Carnival Red
the 2nd is one I posted previously; these are updated photos giving the model a fresh look.
1955 Fireflite Sportsman Hardtop, issued by Conquest Models via Route 66 Models in Emberglow & Surf White

Both are beautiful cars and models of them. One could almost expect to see Groucho or George Fenneman behind the wheel saying, "Drive a DeSoto ...Then Decide !"

Was "DeSoto" ever the secret word...? Or am I getting too old and mixing that up with another TV show ?

The '55 is my fave DeSoto of that decade. I love how the trim separates the colors.

Two doll babies! LOVE the paint choices of each! Excellent pics John!

The 55 DeSoto is also my favorite for the paint divide. I have both of these models but my hardtop is light blue/white and convertible is red/black.

That is a really "cool/neato" duck.

Congrats Steve...."neato" is the secret word of the day! Your name will now be placed in the rotating drum for the Trabant restomod draw at year end!
Good luck!

If this restomod is a cross between a "Tantalizing Trabant" and a "DeLovely DeSoto" I respectfully request my name be withdrawn. Thank-you !
DeLovely,
Steveo 👍

@100ford2003 Steve...Steve....have a little faith. JK and I give our blue ribbon personal guarantee (which is every bit as credible as our rear bumper-to-B pillar 100% time sensitive *warranty attached to the 1 HP Trabant SS Demi-coupe) that this years proposed Trabant restomod will surpass the **buzz created by last years prize.
* Veterinarian bills guaranteed exclusive
** Crowd excitement....as opposed to the noise of circle flies frequenting the "rear seal" of last year's "engine".
