1958 DeSoto Ads |
|||||
| For the first time, Fireflite, Firedome and Firesweep all offered the full model line, from convertibles , hardtops and 4-door sedans, though wagons were only available in Fireflite and Firesweep. Eighty-six two-tone and 14 solid color schemes were offred for 1958 DeSotos. Biggest news was the introduction of the new "B" Series V-8 engine with wedge-shaped combustion chambers with a full-flow oil filter as standard. DeSoto production took a huge nosedive for 1958 - a year in which the U.S. was in the middle of a big recession. Only 49,445 units were produced, less than 28% of the previous year's total.
