DeSoto for 1956
Has ‘Forward Look’
Powered by New,
Larger Engines
The daring, ultra-modern
“flight sweep” body styling con
cept of the new 1956 DeSoto com
bines the beautiful sweeping lines
of the “forward look” with high
sweep fin-type rear fenders to
provide an even more dramatic,
low slung, taut, eager and strik
ing forward thrust appearance.
The ’56 DeSoto went on display
Wednesday, October 19, at the
Shierk Motor Company here,
which is under the new manage
ment of Verlyn Gibbs and Wil
liam Thelander.
From the new full-swept per
forated mesh “floating” grille,
bumper, parking lights and safe
ty beam headlamps, to the smart
new upswept color sweep and
rear fenders with three - tiered,
turreted, body - integrated and
highly decorative tail lamps,
these cars are lithe, clean-lined
and uncluttered.
“They will be recognized im
mediately as the smartest, long
est and lowest-looking ever pro
duced by DeSoto,” according to
the new O’Neill businessmen.
Both the Fireflite and Fire
dome models are powered by
new larger engines, with substan
tial increases in power, in keep
ing with performance require
ments of our superhighway age.
The Fireflite engine now provides
255 horsepower, while the Fire
dome is rated at 230 horsepower.
A completely new advanced
braking system will be standard
equipment on all DeSoto models,
with or without power brakes.
Known as floating “center plane,”
the brakes are considered by De
Soto officials to be the finest ever
developed for passenger cars.
With 25 percent more braking
surface, these brakes provide 25
m
percent less pedal effort and a
very low wear rate, with up to
20,000 more miles of lining ser
vice.
Optional power brakes for all
models have been improved to
provide instantaneous power re
sponse, with a pedal now nearly
the same height as the accelerat
or treadle. A reservoir tank pro
vides for emergency braking.
All 1956 DeSoto models will be
equipped with positive acting,
tested safety door locks. This de
sign provides a sturdy interlock
between the two halves of the
door lock when doors are closed
to greatly minimize the possibil- \
ity of doors opening under sud
den impact.
