Description:

Hello Ebay,
Up for sale is a 1955 Desoto Fireflite Coronado.
Very rare. very beautiful 1955 DeSoto Coronado. Considered one of the rarest American cars of the 1950s. the Coronado was a Spring Special trim option on the Fireflite 4-door sedans. While the Coronado is often viewed as a trim line. this car actually got it's own body number separate from that of the Fireflite. All Coronados were painted in a unique three color scheme of turquoise. white and black and are significant for being among the very first tri-color cars ever made. While exact build numbers do not exist. it is generally thought no more than five hundred '55 Coronados were built. and of those. only a handful survive.
Factory 291 Hemi; 4 barrel Carter carb; dual points; 6v system; backed by a Powerflite automatic transmission.
