DeSoto Firesweep (1958)

This 1958 DeSoto Firesweep Convertible is an exceptionally rare and highly desirable find—one of only 12 known to exist today. Produced for just three years, this model is part of a limited run, with only around 700 units of the 1958 convertible produced. The rarity of this car is further compounded by the notorious rust issues that plagued the model, with many of the original cars succumbing to decay. However, this example remains in remarkable condition with its original, rust-free body.
This 1958 Firesweep Convertible is a stunning example of late '50s automotive design, finished in a vibrant Tutti Frutti color, evoking a playful and bold aesthetic. The exterior features Batmobile-esque dual chrome-rimmed headlights, a large, three-tire chrome bumper, and a thin, oval-shaped open grille that sets the tone for the front. The car proudly wears DeSoto badging and a cloisonné hood ornament, which adds a touch of elegance.
