This OEM 1954 - 1955 De Soto Shop Manual is a high quality, authorized, licensed reproduction of the original shop manual published by the De Soto Division of the Chrysler Corporation.

DeSoto was a major player as an automotive marque which was in production for decades and serves as a huge part of Chrysler's colorful heritage. In the mid 1950s, DeSoto, along with the rest of the Chrysler lineup, the brand took on a new design from Virgil Exner. The new style was dubbed the "Forward Look". It was popular with consumers, and redefined styling for the whole industry. When it comes time to service and repair your classic DeSoto, be sure to pick up this newly-printed version of the same manual which was prepared for the DeSoto mechanics back when these cars were new. It covers the 1954 models (S-19 Firedome and S-20 Powermaster), as well as the 1955 models (S-21 Fireflite and S-22 Firedome). Whether you're wrenching on the 6-cylinder, or the V-8, this service manual has you covered, with specifications and directions to walk you through everything from a tune-up to a major overhaul.

You'll be happy to discover that the well-written text in this massive 722 page book has been paired with a huge number and variety of visual aids. There are illustrations, tables, black and white photographs, exploded-views, cut-away views and more used extensively throughout this handy guide to be sure you have the knowledge and confidence to get the jobs done effectively and efficiently. It covers just about everything you would expect with respect to these beauties. Whether your diving into a transmission project, tinkering with the cooling system, spending some time with the clutch, delving into the steering, or brakes, this shop manual has the information you need and details for many more systems.
