Very nice looking car, not seen for sale too often.
Not the most exciting paint colors for 1956, but
the condition of the car more than compensates.
Seller added wire wheel covers.
I believe this car was sold out of Hershey PA in Summer of 2021:

Seller's Description:
1955 DeSoto Fireflite Coronado 4-door Sedan
- condition: good
- cylinders: 8 cylinders
- transmission: automatic
- odometer: 169,000
- title status: clean
’55 DeSoto Fireflite Coronado S-21 The engine runs perfectly and starts right up! It drives perfectly and the transmission shifts perfectly with no up-shift runaway! It has the Coronado-model's tri-tone paint–––original as is its interior. The headliner is perfect but the door panel upholstery is somewhat worn. The seats are of cloth and leather upholstery! The clock does not work. The radio palys but very weak. One night I picked up WLS, Chicago, but the audio was weak.
All of the car's luminaires work except for one of the 2 dial lamps is burned out in the radio.Recently before 28 Sept 2023:
- rear, axel-mounted brake-line and -hoses replacement
- fuel tank replacement
- battery replacement
Since purchase 28 Sept 2023:
- 4 new Hankook P225/75R15 tires & valve stems (old-style, large hole) replaced
- anti-freeze (green) replacement
- The thermostat was replaced with the correct temperature type of 192º.
- heater core replacement–––from The Brassworks
- ignition coil, distributor’s rotor & cap, & spark plug wires replacement
- The carburetor was rebuilt by Carburetor Exchange, El Monte, Cal.
- The radiator’s leak was solder-repaired by Richard Radiator Shop, Winchester, Va.
- timing chain & crankshaft sprocket replacement
- The seized speedometer was removed for freeing & lubrication, and a broken speedometer cable replaced & lubricated and re-set to zero. When I purchased the car, the odometer read 69,000 miles, I estamate the car having approx. 175,000 miles.
- fuel gauge sending unit replacement
- The turn signal switch and its stem was tightened (requiring steering wheel R & R)
- LED lamps replacement in the 2 dash/map luminaires, and in the dome luminaire & both switches lubricated
- The trunk-mounted luminaire was refurbished with a mercury switch & LED lamp
- The tail/brake/turn signal lamps were replaced with LED lamps––now the tailights are more brilliant.
- engine oil & filter changed 2 times with 15W-40 synthetic oil, 2nd change: 29 Feb 2024
- The left headlamp bucket was re-attached to the car’s body
- generator brush replacement & voltage regulator points filed
- windshield wiper blades replacement
- both V-belts replaced
- power steering fluid replaced with Mobil 1 synthetic ATF (best alternative to type-A ATF)
- Automatic transmission fluid changed with Mobil 1 synthetic ATF (best alternative to type-A ATF)
I replaced the ATF in my '55 DeSoto's Powerflite–––Chrysler's 2-speed automatic transmission.
With the new Mobil 1 synthetic fluid, the transmission no longer loses engine engagement.
I cannot state that the correction was because of the benefic quality of the Moblie 1 ATF, or because of the replacement of possibly broken-down ATF (automatic transmission fluid).
I also replaced the power steering fluid with the Mobile 1 ATF.15 March 2024:
- exhaust system replaced with regular-muffler, dual-exhaust type
- greased steering linkage
Phone me, no text please. $8,000

Appears to be sold now. Ad gone. I'm aware there were perhaps a handful of them total. Think I have another still somewhere in files. Forward Look era. No great info in them. A curiosity for promotional use that a dad at a car show might pick up for his son?
False alarm.
Seller deleted the original ad and relisted. Many Facebook Sellers do that to keep the ad looking new.
