1959 DeSoto Firesweep Wagon

There was an earlier Firedome that we caught in Maine a while back. The 'Sweep is on the block this week at Hemmings.
from the listing:
In terms of pure scarcity, station wagons have it all over any number of Full Classics, muscle cars and European exotics. Here’s why: Wagons weren’t loved. Kids carelessly kicked and scuffed the bulkheads in the cargo area, which was already thoroughly scraped and soiled. Battered into oblivion, they were unceremoniously junked. That’s why when a wagon as rare as this nine-passenger 1959 De Soto Firesweep comes along, especially in admirably presentable condition like this one, it’s immediately noteworthy. Its own demise just two years distant, De Soto produced a total of 1,179 Firesweep Explorer nine-passenger station wagons in 1959, and according to the seller, only a dozen remain roadworthy today. It’s said to have a solid body, only minor surface corrosion, new chrome, and a fully restored interior. Used regularly to tow vintage trailers, the Explorer has been recently upgraded to four-wheel disc brakes, and does indeed have a functional trailer hitch.
