Expert Posts: 2003 Location: Branson, MO | It may be a Fireflite and not an Adventurer. DeSoto had a gold color paint available in '58 and I can't tell if the triangular panel is on the tail end of the sweep that the Adventurer had. The wheel covers are definitely not Adventurer and that could be a tell-tale sign that this car is a Fireflite. Doc might be able to shed some light on this. If there was an interior shot or an engine shot, that would help too. | ||

Location: The Mile High City | I "think" I see the triangular sail panel, but the give away is the missing hood ornament. Fireflites had the hood ornament standard. The standard wheel covers throw it off too. The grill looks might silvery - not much goldie. Any more information on this? Do you know where it's located?

Location: Parts Unknown | I can make out the triangular insert out back. Look at the forward, lower "nose" of the insert surround stainless. I do not know this car. White cars were real standouts in the 50's, but soon the color was seen on all sorts of cars and lots of them, and a car like this lost that element of being special. It is hard for me to get excited about a white car, having grown up in the 60's when white cars were just like any other. But period photos and understanding color and style trends of the times, having a white car was a real standout on the street and was purposely chosen by the Exner team to denote a special car. | ||
