The HistoVIN decoder reads the 17 characters of a VIN and tells you the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. It is free and needs no registration. For the DeSoto Firesweep, our data covers model years 1956 to 1959 in Sedan, Convertible and Wagon bodies, with power from 245 to 295 hp across 14 versions, from the 2-Door Sportsman to the Station Wagon, including variants marked facelift 1958 and facelift 1959.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners; that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. Also keep in mind that 17-character VINs apply to cars built since 1981, so a Firesweep from 1956 to 1959 may carry a different, shorter number, and you should check what is actually stamped on the car against the papers.

Our data lists model years 1956 - 1959 across 14 versions of the DeSoto Firesweep. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.
14 versions, in 3 body styles, with power up to 295 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.
The decoder gives you the model year, so start there: our data runs from 1956 to 1959, and the facelift versions are marked 1958 and 1959. Then compare the body style you see (Sedan, Convertible or Wagon, and 2-Door or 4-Door Sportsman) with the version names in our list.
Check that the characters on the plate or stamping match the registration papers exactly, with no I, O or Q, which are never used in a 17-character VIN. Then see that the model year and body style in the papers fit what the car really is.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of that is stored in a VIN. It also cannot confirm the exact power of a given car within the 245 to 295 hp range in our data.
