    1956 DeSoto Adventurer

    1956 DeSoto AdventurerThe 1956 Adventurer was DeSoto's answer to the Chrysler 300B. Both were high performance vehicles with top speeds of 144 mph. Besides speed, the popularity of the Adventurer was enhanced by its strikingly good looks. Exterior colors were restricted to three colors in six combinations: white/gold, black/gold and the extremely rare white/black. By reversing colors, you had six combinations from which to choose. The interior had gold vinyl upholstery with black and brown metallic tweed seat inserts. Other accents included a gold and white steering wheel, gold accented dash and black pile carpeting with a gold thread weaved through it. Base price was $3,728, but most cars were heavily optioned to include power steering, power windows and power seats. Power brakes were standard. This car is additionally equipped with the rare instant heater (generating heat within 30 seconds), Hiway Hi-Fi record player and a steering wheel clock.
