Re: [FWDLK] Desoto 9 Passenger Wagon Question

[Jan & Roger van Hoy <vanhilla@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some of the nine passenger models came from the factory with four 
"Captive-Air" run-flat tires and no spare.

The '58 DeSoto serial numbers in the FSM don't differentiate between 6 and 9 
passenger models.  I'm sure the body number plate would, but have no codes 
for that.

Though there were only Firedome station wagons in '55-'56, there were no 
Firedome station wagons in '57-'58, only Firesweep and Fireflite.

A '58 DeSoto station wagon is a pretty scarce model.
