The unique parts shown ... engine, fenders, air cleaner ... are all Firesweep only
and were not used on the Fireflite wagon. Why do the Sweep wagons survive in
such large numbers compared to the Fireflites ? The production numbers are not
THAT different ?
A "dream car" of mine is a 2 door Fireflite wagon. The key of which is that unique
long wheelbase wagon frame. All other parts are seen with some regularity.

Text from the first ad (before it's gone again);
These parts are from a 57 DeSoto Firelite Shopper station wagon. I have pretty much the whole car excepted the body. The frame is in great condition and was restored a few years back. Motor and trans has been rebuilt. Front fenders, hood and all four doors plus tons of other misalliance panels have been primed and are all in excellent condition. I also have all the glass as well. For any question please call Alex @ 916-807-6941.
