Summary
This 1956 DeSoto Fireflite Pacesetter Convertible is one of only 1,485 convertibles built for the model year and one of fewer than 426 Pacesetter examples, replicating the Indianapolis 500 pace car. It earned an AACA Senior National First Prize in 1989 and a Senior Grand National Prize in 1991, featuring a 330ci Hemi V8, push-button automatic transmission, power steering and brakes, and a Highway Hi-Fi record player. The odometer shows 89k miles, though total mileage is unknown, and it comes with original sales documents and a clean North Carolina title.

Stratos Gorgeous body work. But how do you spend 9 years modifying/refurbishing and leave the undercarriage looking like that?
