1955 DeSoto Fireflite Coronado
Introduced in 1955, the Fireflite was De Soto’s flagship model. It was wider and longer than previous DeSoto models and it came equipped with a V8 engine producing 200 hp when equipped with the 4 barrel carburetor and PowerFlite automatic transmission.
The design was marked by a striking tri-color paint job – a black top, turquoise body with a white color sweep – and an interior to match.
Production of the 1955 DeSoto Fireflite Coronado is estimated at 500 vehicles.
