1957 DeSoto Firesweep Sportsman

For sale is a stunning 1957 DeSoto Firesweep Sportsman, an iconic piece of American automotive history, meticulously restored to an exceptional standard. DeSoto, a division of Chrysler, was known for offering an entry-level luxury vehicle that competed with brands like Pontiac, Studebaker, and Oldsmobile. The Firesweep, introduced in 1957, was part of DeSoto’s brief but memorable run during its final years before the company ceased operations in 1961. The Firesweep model stood out for its unique blend of style, performance, and affordability, making it a popular choice for buyers during its brief production run. This 1957 DeSoto Firesweep Sportsman is finished in a striking Dusty Orange and Black exterior, complemented by a Black vinyl and Orange cloth interior. Under the hood, the car is powered by a 345ci Hemi V8 engine with dual quad carburetors, producing a robust 345 horsepower. This powerhouse is mated to a 3-speed column-shifted manual transmission, offering a rare and exhilarating combination of the celebrated Hemi V8 and three-pedal manual transmission—a nod to classic muscle car performance.
