Location: San Antonio TX | Loooks like a decent all original one owner car. Factory single color car. Not sure about the price. Seems high for a car that isn't currently running, but then again, the car as a whole looks very solid for an original vehicle. https://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/d/1957-desoto-firedome/6687874133.html |

Yeh, I saw that and laughed. Maybe 41 less, i.e. a 341?

Location: Houston | Seriously....who doesn't think this is a pretty nasty looking car? I'd consider $22K a good deal.

It's $22600 OBO, so anyone who is interested might be able to get it cheaper. My only concern is what condition the engine is in because overall the car looks pretty dang good for somethng that's all original. |

Location: Upstate NY | Was the plain steering wheel and horn rim standard on Firedomes? I thought it was only standard on the sweeps. Nice car. Appears to be solid too! |

Location: So. Cal | Yes it was. My '58 Firedome originally came with one too. The other wheels were an option for them. |
