Love it. My first car I bought at 16 in 1975 was a '55 De Soto Firedome. What a great car that was. Miss it. Have fun with this!

Wanna sell one of your roadrunners?

Really nice...I drove my dad's 273cc 64 cuda with the pushbutton auto gear selector, hydraulic steering, Sweet ride. Got a 66 cuda 3 speed auto for myself, The 273 2 barrel engine wore out burning oil like crazy. Got a built 318 4 barrel holly 600, 360 heads ported, mild purple camshaft, solid lifters, 10.5:1 flat top pistons, hooker headers, Transmission with low 1st and second gears, shift kit, 391 rear end, from a 1970 super bee from a guy that worked at Jim boast dodge. 280 hp and 0 to 60 in 5 seconds. One of my tranny linkages came loose and fell down could not drive in reverse.

Cool car !!!!!

My 55 Dodge Custom Royal Super Red Ram Hemi 6volt system started in 6’ degree below zero when all of my Dad’s GM vehicles didn’t start. I offered to take him to work if his 55 Pontiac wasn’t behind me and he said “ Oh Shut Up !” I was being polite as well. lol 😂

That’s either not a 64 or has a 68 shifter in it.Dash shifter wasn’t available until 1968

Where is this located

Cool truck! 🤜🤛

Enjoyed ❤

Your Lucky

I've always wanted build a all aluminum Keith Black hemi, and this is my no.1 choice for such a build.

Does this have a 318 V8?

Drive and enjoy it! NO computers, NO sensors, NO catalytic converter, NO smog checks! What's not to love?

These Forward Look DeSotos weren't "Grandma cars". The 49 - 52 were, but the reputation stuck.

Your ground battery cable is too small for a 6 volt system. 6 volt starters draw twice the amps as 12 volt starters, and more amps requires thicker gauge cables, or else it will crank slowly, especially after driving it some miles, making younger people think that you must convert to 12 volts.

I fell in love at an early age. I was not more than three when my dad's relatives were visiting and had the same DeSoto with the same color. My grandfather had a 55 Dodge Coronet a similar color which was a close second.

What size life and tires does it have. Love the truck

I had a gold ‘77 short bed with a 400 big block 4 bbl with automatic full time 4WD just like that. Mine was tall like that with the factory lift. Not a big power house but very reliable. Kinda miss that old thing. 😢

Man I would love to have that truck

My older brother had a 76 short box, fleet side, big block, 4spd, 4x4, it was black with a blue interior and a blast to drive. My brothers truck was a stock from the factory 400 big block, and still my favourite truck.

That sounds perfect. My 66 cuda tranny linkage came loose on the automatic 3 speed. I could only drive it home in 2nd gear.

Thank you so much

Congratulations

Congratulations

I grew up with several just like that. My Dad had several in his company. I remember going with him when he would buy them new. I learned to drive on his D500 dump truck. all the same color too!!

Would love to see you do a post on 83 TO 89 Chrysler RWD Fifth Avenues. Had 83 and 85 Silver Fifth Avenues with plush velvet tufted seats. For me these were the last of true Chrysler. Have had numerous upscale vehicles including Fleetwoods and Town Cars. Though slightly smaller, the Fifth Avenues held their own for classic style, luxury, and comfort! 🏆

This OLD DOG 🐕 learned to drive on a black 55 Firedome. Parents friends had a two tone Fireflite. Great cars, to me best looking or 55 Chrysler Corp lineup. The dashboard is one of the most beautiful ever. Parents passed up chance to buy a 59 ADVENTURER and last 61 in our community. In summer of 62, they traded the 55 for a 62 Plymouth Belvedere🤮 Love DeSoto from 55 through last 3200 final 61s. 🎵 It's Delightful 🎶It's Delovely 🎵 It's DESOTO 🎶.And tell them Groucho sent you!

That grille was used on all 300 n larger trucks after 72. In 72 the pickups changed complete body styles...the larger trucks kept the sweptline cab styling until the change n 74, for all larger trucks

I’m jealous! Love those Formulas!

Damn! you scored big time,

Does it have Firedome headlight surrounds? Try get the overspray off the horn.

Great find glad you saved it.

Good video my dad had a 69 dodge coronet 4 door from 69-77 was a good car 318 under the hood

where do you live, I want to help you. lol

Exner designed all of the wonderful front grille "chrome teeth" of DeSotos built from 1951 to 1955, but he did not design the bodies of the cars built before 1955 model year. The old fashioned Chrysler-DeSoto-Dodge-Plymouth and Imperials built from 1939 to 1954 were designed and built by the Briggs Auto Body Company of Chicago, and the bodies were shipped by rail cars to Chrysler in Detroit, Michigan. This arrangement became too expensive for Chrysler in the early 1950s, because the odd-looking old-fashioned car body designs were not popular with buyers, in spite of some good Chrysler engineering underneath. Exner, the idea man, convinced Chrysler management to stop doing business with Briggs, and bought them out in 1953, with Chrysler building their own auto bodies in new factories built in Detroit in 1954, for the new Forward Look cars of 1955.

The first Exner-designed DeSoto of the Forward Look! Very advanced styling for 1955. This is the top of the line Fireflite model, with the chrome fins on top of the chrome headlamp bezels. 1955 was the only year of the Powerflite automatic transmission gear selector on the dash. Same Corvette-style dash layout was also used for 1956, when the push-button gearbox was first used in Chrysler cars on the left side of the steering wheel. Also the 4-barrel carb was standard on the DeSoto Fireflite, but optional on the lower-priced Firedome model, with the same Hemi V8. The Powermaster flathead Six of 1954 was discontinued for 1955, and all DeSotos to the last one for 1961 were all V8s. 1955 was the last year of the 6-volt electrical system. For 1956, 12-volts were the thing, due to the addition of many power accessories offered on Detroit American cars. Beautiful styling and design by Virgil M. Exner Sr. who also designed exotic concept cars for Ghia in Italy.
