The Desoto Firesweep was an automobile produced by the Chrysler Corporation and sold under its Desoto brand from 1957 through 1959.The Firesweep was a lower-priced entry which combined a Dodge shell and chassis with a Desoto bumper and grill. 1957 models were sold only as imports in Canada. While the Firesweep featured Desoto's signature tailfins, the front clip was based on the Dodge Coronet. The most telling feature was the headlight design, housed under heavily chromed lids typical of Dodge. Firesweep grilles were similar to those on other contemporary Desoto models.The Firesweep could seat six passengers and was available as a four-door sedan, five-door station wagon, two-door coup, and two-door convertible. Depending on the body style, Firesweeps weighed between 3,660 and 3,980 lb. Power was provided by Chrysler's 361 V8 overhead valve engine capable of 295 hp at 4,600 rpm.
