Any Edsel fans out there? Show your rides please.

i checked out thsis 58 edsel wagon about a month ago. engine was toast and the car was stuck in the ground up to the center of the wheels. floor gone, and the guy told me he wanted $4000 for it. i just laughed. sorry only one pic will load and im to tired to fuk with resizing. but the body itself was pretty good.

 

I think Dodge bought out all the left over center bumpers or center grills from Ford and used them on the 1970 Coronets.... Yes??....... No??

 

Here is mine,the only one in Quebec.

 

The Mortician here in town drives one, dude's nuttier than a pet Owl. Dean

 

A local TV station ran this story on the news tonight. Video is included. Edsel fans may be interested:

Her name is Elli Edsel aka Ellen Edsel !

3 spd + overdrive + 3.70:1 gears, POWER steering + manual brakes,
electric windows, electric bench seat, stainless rocker mouldings +
citation side scallop trims.

 

I remember a car like that when I went to school in Kalamazoo Mi.
He was a local hero, bad boy. Could it be the same one?

 

I have a 1959 Ranger, 2 dr post. 223 3 on the tree, and a 1959 Wagon. A while back found a guy about 30 minutes from my house that has a whole back lot of edsels, and a garage full of mint ones, from 58's to 60. He used to be the president of the edsel club. Bought all of the one from the back lot for 50 bucks a piece. Sold some that were decent, and parted out the rest. Personally I never had a place in my heart for the 60's until I saw this guys. Mint green, 2 door ht. It is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. Gained a new respect for them after I saw that one. I'm in the process of making a mild custom out of my ranger.

 

Here's my old one. It had a 351M with a mild Isky cam, Edelbrock intake, holley double pumper, etc. backed by a C6 with a B&M shift kit, and a 9" posi. Had tons of fun and very dependable. Sold her to help finance my 27.

 

Me tooooooo. . .

1958 Roundup. I'm no sure when it will be on the road.

 

Just a comment from a guy who loves them. I LOVED the '58 and I Loved the '60.....The car was designed beyond it'd time and people couldn't bear it. Beautiful cars Guys....You're blessed to have one....Centurion9

 

There was an elderly gentleman that passed away a couple years ago and he collected edsels . i knew the family and went to look at the cars before the auction . They wanted to sell some of them off because of the shear amount of items at the auction they wanted to reduce some .

I went up and there were two cars that caught my eye , An Edsel Roundup 2 door wagon and a 2dr 50 ford with a flathead . both were rough but saveable ,plus that roundup is like hens teeth . I told them i was interested in a few cars and they said they would call me when the family members came up with a price.

Next thing i knew , a scrap buyer pulled in and they sold 70% of the cars to him for scrap price and he crushed em .

 

Mine on the avatar.

 

I'm in.... Love the Ranger and Pacers of 58. one day i will have the time to work on mine. The 60 Ranger hardtops are sweet.

Here is my $500 beast. Actually runs and it is a stick shift.




And my 27,000 mile Corsair I sold.


Parts car I had, too rough to fix.

 

Edsels are cool!! John

 

Here is another shot of my 1958 Pacer 2-door. This is probably one of my favorite cars I have owned, everywhere you go you get a thumbs up and people wondering what the hell you are driving.

 

Here are a few videos of my 1959 Edsel with a 292. Just got it running last month. How does it sound guys?

Is that your 60?

 

No a buddy of mine, I just helped put it together.

 

'59Edsel.... Car sounds good! I like the look of the Y-blocks and all the finned aluminum stuff you can get for them.
