1955 DeSoto Firedome

1955 DeSoto Firedome

By 1955, the Firedome had grown to a displacement size of 291 cubic-inches, and horsepower was rated at 185. The big news, however, was the complete ‘Forward Look’ redesign, courtesy of Virgil Exner. The deep, wraparound windshield accented the wider stance, complemented by generous use of chrome trim, and jet-age inspired styling cues.
