DeSoto created the Adventurer series to compete with other performance cars like the Plymouth Fury Sports Coupe and the Chrysler 300. The first Adventurer, a two-door hardtop coupe that was technically a Fireflite subseries, rolled out of the factory in 1956, and within six weeks, all 996 units were sold.
This car is powered by a 383 cu. in. overhead-valve V8 engine developing 350 horsepower coupled to a 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission, making it capable of 125 miles per hour.
Sales of the Adventurer from 1957 thru 1959 totaled 3,069 vehicles. A new Adventurer was introduced in 1960, including four-door sedans, and had sales of 11,597 units, but this was not enough to save DeSoto. In November 1961, the cars 'Built to Last' ended production for all time.
