Saw this mid 50's DeSoto Firedome today, the nice shape it looked to be I figure it still has the 291 FireDome Hemi.

Decent looking car. I wouldn't have looked twice at it a few decades ago but now I appreciate any car that has made it this long and is in pretty good shape.

Just found a Volare Volatile;  Specifically built for the Mexican/Austrailian market,
the Volatile was meant to be a performance and trim package similar to an R/T or Road Runner that we had here in the US. Came with a 400 Magnum
It had standard power front disc, rear drum brakes but was equipped with an oversize front anti-sway bar and optional rear anti-sway bar, tires were 15" poly glass radials mounted on unique cast alloy wheels.
Being an export only vehicle the U.S. DOT mandated crash-absorbing bumpers were not installed. All equipped with a revamped "Challenger" style fresh air hood and dual scoops.
How many of these are around?

How about a Chrysler (or is it an Imperial?) hearse?

Seeing the previous fine looking hearse with the scroll reminded me of what I saw yesterday on this Mopar.

Because of the stow & Go seating that is the popular choice here in Panama  :twothumbsup:

And the Yellow Jacket Challenger (Diamonte as a "child")
