    All the way from Georgia. Traded my 40' chevy PU for this mild custom 59" Edsel Ranger Hardtop. Just got here today and had to share.

    The car once belonged to Alan MAyes from Ole Skool Rodz and has several issues on some of it's work.

    That is a beautiful car!
    Is the steering wheel offcenter that much or are the front tires angled alot more than they look in the pictures?

    NICE score! Does it have a 410 FE engine in it? I've always like the Edsels;....too bad they were dropped from production.......the 1st couple of years brought out some really innovative designs too!


    Long live Jules Blattner and his Band!

    My dad had a couple of Edsels back in the 70's, that one is really nice...

    I always liked the front of the 59's better than the 58's, but I liked the 58 taillights... they cheesed out on the 59's...

    If you find a nice pair of 59 bezels you can cut up, I can make you up some 58/Lee style tailights on my thermoforming machine...
