When did they stop making DeSoto?
November 30, 1960
DeSoto was beginning to struggle for survival and only two series were offered for 1960. 1961 would be the last model year for manufacturing the DeSoto nameplate. On November 30, 1960, DeSoto dealers were notified by telegram that Chrysler was ending DeSoto production in the United States.
What kind of transmission did DeSoto Firedome have?
It was a sedan with the original FireDome V8 and push-button automatic transmission. I vividly remember needing to push the car out of the driveway because he had not connected the linkage for reverse on the transmission!
How much is a 1956 DeSoto Firedome worth?
In running condition, they are probably worth about $3,000 each, but he loves them for what they are. When I was maybe 12, he stopped by our house with his most recent find, a 1956 Desoto much like this one. It was a sedan with the original FireDome V8 and push-button automatic transmission.
What kind of car is a 1952 DeSoto?
I’ll admit- I’m a sucker for quirky stuff, like this 1952 Desoto sedan. My dad has a friend from work who is a car guy, typical car guy.
How old is the DeSoto Firedome steering wheel?
The exterior paint seems to be in good condition for being 63 years old, and the maroon color seems to match in patina across the whole vehicle. The steering wheel has what appears to be a nice factory horn ring and an aftermarket steering wheel wrap. Honestly, I have my doubts about the original mileage claim.
