As we all know, color combination makes much of the car, this one has its factory colors..

Have you seen this in Google Maps? It must just be Fridberg with some friends in an Imperial!

Location: Humboldt Kansas		I've been cruising through you guys pictures and I'd like to say you all do beautiful work! I'd love to visit Sweden sometime and explore the car culture over there, my family came from Sweden many generations ago (last name is Olson). Anyways, did you guys happen to buy a hoard of forward look cars (including a 57? Dodge convertible) from a man named Frank Schoemaker in Humboldt Kansas? He sold most of his collection around 10 years ago to some ol boys over there and I'd love to find out what happened to that convertible!

Celebrate the weekend with pictures of the three 1958 Fireflite Convertibles that are in Sweden!
In addition to these three, there are two cars in the U.S. Docs and a gentleman from Northeast.
The "Montanacar", as previously discussed, proved to be a Sweep beyond all rescue. 
Today the sum is only five known 58 Fireflite convertibles left out of manufactured 474. Enjoy!

Please post pictures and information here if you are sitting on "new" old material about 1958 DeSoto Fireflite Convertible!

Thanks Dave!

Here are some pictures from this weekend's swap meet in Mora. As you can see, spring is very late this year. Cold, windy and gray weather every day.
Now we long for the summer!

These pictures remind me...there would be a US market for dimpled body mount sheet metal for those of us without the tools to stamp them. I had to hand make the ones for my '56 Plymouth and though they functioned, they were ugly and took a long time to make.

John & M'Lisa Fowlie on visit in Malung today. The pics is from our local car club, suitable named Big Wheels.
Of course we went for a ride in the Fireflite with Big M behind the wheel.

We wish them a nice holiday and hope they will have a good time in Sweden.

The seats in the Regals are nicer than the 58 New Yorker seats, and nicer than the base 58 Imperial seats!!

The dealer script on this car looks to read "Jarrett/Hatboro"

That was a small family run dealer close to where I grew up

They're gone now - lost their dealership back when Chrysler was shedding dealers to recover from some disaster or another.

It was a cool place - the owner was a collector, had a Hemi 66 Charger, a few FL cars (maybe even that one actually . . . )

Location: Branson, MO		You are welcome - yes, that's the '60 Chrysler I was referring to. I'm generally a DeSoto guy but since DeSoto didn't have a convertible in '60, I have to go with the Chrysler. This model is so clean and uncluttered it stands out beyond anything else for 1960. Some may disagree with me but I actually like it better than the 300 probably because the lone side trim is longer and appears to be a bit lower on the car. I do like, and always have liked, the 300 grille but even the Windsor grille looks classy on this car. That color red is truly amazing - very tasteful.
