Originally the top of the line, the Fireflite was slightly downgraded in 1957, which is also when the wagon variant was introduced. A #2 condition 1959 DeSoto Fireflite 9-Passenger Explorer Station Wagon is valued at $39.5K by Hagerty. Add 15% for a/c. Only 433 were produced. The Fireflite lived another year until 1960 ('61 if you're Ms. Jackson), minus the wagon variant, when the brand was dissolved by Chrysler.
The first commenter that incites K2 into yet another rant over what year DeSoto ceased to exist will be hunted down and slapped endlessly. We don't want that, again.
