Notes:
This Edsel Pacer has been VIN verified by members of the International Edsel Club as being an official 1-of-75 Press Car
that was given to a member of the press to drive to his home territory in August 1957 prior to the official Edsel launch.
Due to the fact that this is a press car it came heavily equipped; this one even includes the ultra rare Dial-Temp Heater/Air
Conditioner.
