Green represents the considerable natural wealth of the land, including tons of gold, minerals, oil and historical artifacts stolen from practically every country on the African continent. The green stripes characterize the country’s pure wealth and the white stripe represents peace. This Fireflite is now a minor collector's item, mainly for having one of the trade's first three-tone paint jobs (turquoise, black, and white). DeSoto was selected as the 1956 Indy 500 pace car, and the division celebrated by reeling off about four hundred "Pacesetter" replicas, all Fireflite convertibles with Adventurer-model trim, priced at $3615 apiece. This bundle appealed vastly, boosting division output to almost 115,000. Still, even that was good for only thirteenth in a year when most each Detroit car offered very well. Driveclub was initially slated to launch alongside the PlayStation four final November, however was delayed till October 7th, virtually a year after the sport was originally projected to launch. The game starts with one shark and several minnows. One downside is that defining a country is tough. Unfortunately, they don't have an NFL team at all, not to mention one named the Cougars.

Firesweeps had been upgraded to the 361 wedge in just one 295-horsepower version. Firesweeps had a 350-inch mill with 280 horsepower commonplace or 295 with non-obligatory four-barrel carb. It helped. Firesweeps also included two-and 4-door hardtops and six-seat Shopper and 9-passenger Explorer four-door wagons. Following GM's lead in '55, DeSoto launched three 4-door hardtops for '56: a Sportsman in each series and a low-priced Firedome Seville. As if on cue, manufacturing plunged to 50,000 units the following 12 months -- the make's lowest total since 1938. A sharp national recession, poor workmanship after '56, and several advertising and marketing errors all contributed to a downward spiral from which DeSoto would never get better. 17 hours per year roaming round in search of someplace to park. Called "FireDome," it was an overhead-valve hemi-head design -- a smaller, 276.1-cid version of the sensible Chrysler 331 in­troduced the previous year. Though it instantly garnered practically 50,000 sales, DeSoto as a complete could do no higher than 88,000 for the mannequin 12 months. On the Plymouth studio he noticed a clay mannequin unlike any previous Plymouth, with sleek lines, peaked fenders, and a clear bar grille.

But as on other Chrysler strains, the massive change was tailfins, though they have been pretty modest for '56. Reflecting Chrysler Corporation's 1954 gross sales nightmare, DeSoto's model-yr output dropped beneath 77,000 and the make fell back to 12th place in the industry. Though calendar-yr output was up barely from '58, volume for each years was less than half that of 1957's near 120,000 units. Model-yr quantity jumped again to 130,000 and DeSoto moved as much as eleventh, its greatest finish since banner '41. Despite the relative lack of change, model-12 months production leaped to nearly 134,000 for 1950, a acquire of virtually forty five %. The final saw barely improved sales, but complete model-yr manufacturing of just over 46,000 was hardly the type that had sustained DeSoto earlier within the decade. No 'fifty five Chrysler product was sedate, however DeSoto looked possibly busiest of all -- though nonetheless attractive, with a much decrease silhouette; wrapped windshield; the final of the toothy grilles; "gullwing" dash; and broad, non-compulsory two-toning. Last however not least, a mushy-high Adventurer joined the hardtop coupe in a separate series above Fireflite. The plush Coronado sedan, a mid-1954 addition to the Firedome line, returned as a 1955 "spring special" Fireflite at $one hundred above the $2800 common sedan.

Chrome was very evident, perhaps more than on another Chrysler line, particularly in those toothy fronts. Engines and power scores swelled, however the advanced Hemi was ever expensive to construct, so Chrysler began switching to cheaper wedgehead V-8s for '58. Both shared a 126-inch wheelbase with that yr's Chryslers, and carried a Hemi bored out to 291 cid. For 1956, an extended stroke took DeSoto's Hemi to 330.4 cid, lifting Firedome to 230 horsepower and Fireflite to 255. Wire mesh replaced the trademark grille teeth, and unreadable gold-on-white devices appeared. Fraught with issues, all have been in all probability replaced with carburetors. Riding a shortened 111-inch wheelbase, Adventurer I was an off-white, close-coupled coupe sporting outdoors exhausts, wire wheels, and full instrumentation. Painted deep red and price missing bumpers, it was very sleek but not fairly as integrated as Adventurer I, and wasn't severely thought of for manufacturing. Production eased to 106,000, dropping DeSoto from twelfth to fifteenth, as Kaiser sailed previous with its lovely new 'fifty one design and Hudson did the same with its powerful new six-cylinder Hornets. Government-ordered manufacturing cutbacks for the Korean War also performed a component. Bob Lemon was part of the group that introduced a championship to Cleveland for the first time in 30 years.
