Description:

I know a lot of you are in love with the ’’57 Chevy, but one look across the street at what was going on at Chrysler might change your allegiances. Park this heart-stopping 1957 Desoto Fireflite Sportsman next to a ’57 Chevy and the Chevy starts to look positively ordinary in comparison. With long, sweeping lines, those killer fins, and a robust 341 cubic inch Hemi under the hood, Chrysler was most definitely at the top of their game with this car. - With a push button Torqueflite 3 speed transmission this sled glides seamlessly down the road. 3.36-geared rear end -..New gas tank..New Tires..New Brakes..New Interior..New Rubber..The Fireflite’s appearance for 1957 was redesigned with the help of Chrysler Corporation's head stylist, Virgil Exner. The design was bold and radical with large tail fins, dual oval exhaust and triple-lens taillights. The tail fins were not only aesthetic, but helped to stabilize the car at high speeds. A four-headlight system was optional for both the Fireflite and DeSoto Firedome models in 1957. The DeSoto Firesweep polyhead V8s were introduced with a bore and stroke of 3.6875 in (94 mm) X 3.800 in (97 mm). for 325 cid.
