Notes
The Fireflites 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. The two barrel V8 was rated at 240 hp (179 kW) while the four barrel version produced 260 hp (194 kW).

The 330 cid hemi engine was replaced by a hemi which was 341 cid. This car has a 341 Hemi. The two barrel carburetor produced 270 hp (201 kW). while the four barrel version was rated at 295 hp (220 kW). Both engines had a 9.25:1 compression ratio.[4]

In 1957 the Fireflite was superseded by the DeSoto Adventurer as the premium DeSoto model. Nevertheless, Fireflites continued to offer high-grade appointments in a full line of body styles. Also in 1957, a station wagon was added to the Fireflite's lineup. Back-up lights became standard.[2]

The "Marathon" building in the pic's is the Nashville home to the "pickers" Mike & Frank.
Looks like something Danielle would research and write.

Beautiful car at a fair price.

Pretty car, but I couldn't see myself dropping $30K on a 4 door that isn't a drop top Continental.

I would assume the price is very negotiable 0n this car.

Well. . . That 413 Hemi is what I like. And that knee-knocker A/C is definitely a big plus.

Typo, no such thing. From the write up, "The 330 cid hemi engine was replaced by a hemi which was 341 cid. This car has a 341 Hemi. The two barrel carburetor produced 270 hp (201 kW). while the four barrel version was rated at 295 hp (220 kW). Both engines had a 9.25:1 compression ratio."

It also has AWD...

It also has AWD...

As in, all four wheels turn...lol.

 

[rexus31]

If it has the one of one 413 HEMI and is AWD, it may be worth the asking price.

I am so disappointed. . . I was counting on the 413 hemi and AWD. . .

Very elegant design.
