"E-475" 410cid 345bhp V8, Teletouch automatic transmission, 2.91:1 axle ratio
Edsel number
701252 manufactured in Los Angeles, CA on October 17, 1957
Owner:
Play Toys Auto Sales
Almost completely factory original. Paint is original, seats
are black & white which does not match code "Z". It may have had a Tachometer
but a hole in the instrument cluster is there now. I could not open the trunk
to see what was in there or if there is any rust. There is a throttle control
cable mounted under the dashboard, similar to that used with a PTO, I don't know
why it's there.
It has been there many months. The vehicle is being sold on consignment, by
the wife of possibly the original owner.
Submitted by Bud Goodwin. The owners of this car lot are very nice people and
were very cooperative in allowing me to obtain the numbers for inclusion in the
registry, in fact they were excited by the idea. I'd like to see this car get a
good home, it's been sitting outside a long time.

Could be used or driven as-is, or would be good to restore. Needs a
