I noted this fine speciman this morning for sale on Ebay. A very stunning, original automobile in my opinion:
1958 DeSoto Fireflite Sportsmen Fireflite Sportsman Coupe | eBay
Given how the interior looks with its matching seat material also properly on the door panels, its fabic has a faded look and a bit rumpled (the fabrics back in the day were pretty low durability) and everything else about the car, I believe the original 30K miles claim. It has been a long time since I have seen one of these cars in such original, very nice condition and now in Florida no less! Bidding now at $25K with 5 days to go - not a bad starting price either. It will be interesting to see where this one ends up. 1958 was my favorite year for the Forward Look Desotos. Such incredible cars back in those days.
