Notes:
This 1958 Edsel Ranger four door was purchased by my father at a lien sale in 1989, and has
been sitting in Northridge, CA since then. My father had a stroke five months ago and will
not get around to restoring it. Do not have the pink but have all the lean papers from the
State of California, from the 1989 sale. The car looks complete, rumor has it that it blew
a head gasket and the right front brakes were locked up. I do not have the keys, vehicle
looks real solid, all the exterior chrome and stainless are there except for one "E" in Edsel on
the left side. I would call this a grade 6 car needing full restoration or a great parts
car.
