1956 DeSoto FireFlite Hemi Convertible 331 cid Hemi V8 rated at 255 horsepower, Carter dual four-barrel carburetors, three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission, independent front suspension, live rear axle and power drum brakes front and rear; wheelbase: 126"-With only 1,485 built, the rare Ñ56 Desoto Fireflite was selected as the official Indy 500 Pace Car when new. Power was derived from a two-four barrel-topped Hemi motor as seen in this example. The black and white pleated leather interior is in like-new condition and is home to a pushbutton automatic transmission console, Select-O-Matic radio, and rare under-dash Highway Hi-Fi record player. Included with purchase is much documentation and dealer Hi-Fi record for the player. Kelsey-Hayes wire spinner wheels and wide white tires add to an already stunning convertible. The odometer shows 10,408 miles, and the condition of this body-off restored convertible is that of a new car. It must be one of the best examples to be found as it is in wonderful condition from top to bottom. These cars do not come around often and should be considered
