De Soto Fireflite is correct, but coachbuilder is not. Locked for you for 3 attempts or 48 hours to identify the coachbuilder.

No, but the coachbuilder was located in Memphis. Still locked for one more attempt.

Yes! A point for you, even though I made a mistake when I confirmed it as a Fireflite. It is, in fact, a Desoto Firesweep. :-[
