My first car (purchased in 1968) was a 1957 Fire Dome. Same paint scheme but no record player, fender skirts or wire wheels. Big as an aircraft carrier with plenty of room in the trunk for a tail gunner! I had sooo much fun with that car, however that was in the days of cheap gas. I couldn't afford to feed it now.

I've always liked the 1958 Fireflite.

My favorite Classic cars are the 1956/57 Desoto and 1955 Chrysler's Imperial St. Regis Coupe.

I miss fins, wing windows, enormous trunks and steering wheels, and manual transmission with the gear shift on the steering column

Beautiful featured car but would prefer it without the robotic narration.

What is the difference between a Fireflite and Firedome ,is it the 4 barrel carb only?
@stephenholland59308 ай бұрын
I have an original 1957 De Soto brochure which lists the Fireflite with a 341 ci 4 barrel, and the Firedome with a 341 ci 2 barrel, as you stated. The Fireflite came standard with the 3 speed TorqueFlite. The Firedome came with a 3 speed manual as standard equipment, the TorqueFlite being optional. Also, the Firedome doesn't appear to be available as a wagon, unlike the Fireflite and Firesweep versions.
