Looking at brake parts and they list Adventurer or Fireflyte. My is a Seville, I am assuming the Adventurer is a more expensive model and mine would be similar to Fireflyte?

The 56 series are Firedome and Fireflite with the Fireflite being more expensive due to engine differences along with trim and the like

The Adventurer series was a limited production 2 door hardtop in variations of black/white/gold

From 1950-59 all (2 and 4 door) hardtops were known as Sportsman

In 55 there was a value priced Firedome Special coupe compared to the Firedome Sportsman

In 56 the Seville was the value priced hardtops in the Firedome series, there was also Firedome Sportsman in 56

The Seville name came back in 1959 as a Spring Special as a 2 door hardtop or a 4 door hardtop in either the Firesweep and Firedome series. It had the Nassau Plaid interior with Bradenton Blue as the available color
