kingrudy Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I really like the colors on this car and it is a beautiful style IMO, but the seller should have included at least one pic of the interior and the engine compartment. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone selling a car should know that prospective buyers will want to see the interior and engine. Could it be that those areas are deficient, and the seller didn't want to show them? Did he want to present only the best aspects of his car? I say: Tell the truth, the WHOLE truth, and nothing but the truth. Half-truths aren't enough. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great looking car. I had one but it was pink and white. This one is very nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I miss that Desoto, nice styling on 55 Desoto’s. Were very under valued for a long time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Wildeisen Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 My old 55 did not have the fender ornaments/spear things on top of the fenders. Was this an option on these cars? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanLyman Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Fender spears were for Fireflite only (not on Firedome). Added probably. I'm curious why there are rags covering the cowling in the engine compartment picture... Odd... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not rags - My guess is that there was a car cover over the entire car, but it was folded back partially to open the hood for the picture. I have seen one of mine look like that when only partially uncovered. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
