1955 DeSoto Firedome Walk Around

For me, what makes this DeSoto beautiful, is the simple side chrome trim. Actually gives the side profile a very modern look. Also the delete stick on fins. Early predecessor, reminds me of the kickup rear fenders of the mid 60s GM models.

Beautiful shiny 1955 DeSoto Firedome 4-door sedan. The first DeSoto of the all new Forward Look. This is an early production example, manufactured in the fall of 1954. The chrome strip on the sides gives this away, since it was replaced with the two-tone chrome trim moldings in January 1955. The execs at Chrysler thought the single chrome strip made the DeSoto look too much like a similarly priced 1955 Chrysler Windsor, so they put the two-tone moldings on all subsequent 1955 DeSoto models, and the 1956 DeSoto side two-tone moldings were similar.
