Nice Restoration, 1953 DeSoto Firedome Station Wagon

Found this nice example of old American family cars that was listed on Craigslist about 30 days ago, and is still online today. As shown here the first generation of the DeSoto topline series commonly known as the Firedome, was released in 1953 as a 5-door station wagon body type. All looks great and presented well by photos, and reportedly has been restored.

The car is being offered for sale by the owner's friend, if you're interested must see closer.


Color combination looks great from here. Hard to find imperfections here, the dash shows exceptionally well in photos with clean surfaces wood, brown and white upholstery looks tidy and black carpets looks nice. Hoped all instruments work properly also. Anyway it's a pretty good renovation result.


As shown here is original engine was sit nicely on the bay. The Firedome was powered by a Hemi V8 engine, when new he can producing 160 hp, had a top speed of 100 mph (160 km/h) and need 15.5 seconds from 0 to 60 mph (100 km/h). This was the first time that DeSoto offered an 8-cylinder engine in one of its models since 1931.

1950 DeSoto Custom Sportsman


1950 DeSoto Custom Sportsman

Here's American antique full size sedan produced by DeSoto. It's a DeSoto Custom Sportsman built in 1950 on 2 Door Hardtop. This is a very nice original DeSoto Custom Sportsman and it runs great! It was a Utah car that has been part of a large Auto collection in Southern California over the last 9 years. The car looks as good as it does in the listing photos that were just taken this week.The previous owner stated that the miles were correct and the condition of the original parts on this car leads us to believe that it does have only 34,240 miles.
