Just came across this car yesterday, and I'm in the process of negotiating a sale! It's a fully numbers matching 1959 Desoto Adventurer Coupe in Black, with Power Windows, Power Swivel Seats, and Factory A/C! And the guy has a Firedome parts car with the rear glass I need!

Will a Firedome glass be the same?

From the part numbers I've seen, all rear glass is the same in 1957-59 Desoto 2dr Hardtops.

There were 2 sizes of backlights on 57-59 DeSoto 2 door hardtops, low and the high. The tall rear window was optional on the lesser models, standard on the Fireflite and Adventurer.

There is the standard rear glass, and the sky-high one, from '57-9 in coupe models. This car takes the sky-high one.

Nice find, BTW!

Well that's good news, since the seller confirmed that the parts car is a Fireflite, not a dome.

I remember this car before it landed here. I bought a car 15 years ago sitting 20ft from it that wasnt a Forwardlook.
Great car.
