OH My , What A FIND , Wish you all the Best ,,please allow me to tell of My early romance of Dads car .. He bought a red /white 57 Fireflite DESOTO htp...like on YOU TUBE BERNADINE sang by PAT BOONE ( you can visit if you like) ... I recall stopping and seeing that car at the used carlot dads army buddy ran in New Albany IN.. . DAD WANTED THAT CAR !.. Needed a motor, because someone had let the block bust ...dad helped find a wrecked ambulance motor 392/HEMI4 barrel , and paid cash for the car $2000 in 1961,.. THAT CAR WOULD FLY , passing everything but a gas station , Dad used to say .. and really would hang to the Road.! Maybe it was the 6ft fins LOL . i was with Dad when we broke the (mercury thermometer type )Speedometer , .. thought i was going to get BLOWN out the windows , Loved it !, and was sworn to silence for some 20 yrs before grinning dad and I told mom how the Speedometer got Broke.. Dad and Mom loved the styling of the 57-58Desoto Years,,. IMHO it Was probably the best Looking Car Built by all Crysler Divisions for that era .. After a decade the Gravel roads took a heavy toll on the Beautifully formed steel,, and With a need for serious Front suspension repairs,,. Just before my older brother got his drivers liscense ( Mom knew we liked FAST to much ) Dad traded it back to his Army buddy for a mere $185,,The DESOTO quikly disappeared .. Dad Thinks the motor went into a Race car , and the rest went to the junk yard ,, ain't no way i would let that happen TODAY ... Thanx for the Memories ...
