Description of 1959 DeSoto Firesweep Seville |
Here's what I can think of to tell you about the car. First, please bear in mind this is not a rust-free, pristine car. It was just an average 14 year old Pittsburgh used car plucked from the streets in 1973 and frozen in time. It has some rust in the rockers, fenders, quarters... and Bondo in the trunk pan and floor pan. It survived salty Pittsburgh winters. Driveable, original, but far from perfect. It's a survivor in the true sense of the word. I made a 39-minute walkaround video where I went over the whole car in great detail. It's up on YouTube in HD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMrOj_-2Vlk I also uploaded some new short movies and quick pictures of the DeSoto from last June at: http://www.forwardlook.net/images/desoto/2018 but I still need to get her out for a nice photo day. There are also earlier images at http://www.forwardlook.net/images/desoto from when I first got the car. Some bullet points about the car:
1959 DeSoto 2-door hardtops are pretty scarce, and the Seville model (spring special) is even harder to find. It is the most beautiful color combo they offered for the year. I am open to reasonable offers. Please let me know if you have any questions or want to look at the car. Thanks!!! |
