"This 1958 Edsel 9-passenger wagon has been updated with Bermuda trim and option package. It features numerous seldom-seen
options, including its dealer-installed air-conditioning unit, push-button Teletouch shifter located in the center of the steering
wheel, rolling-dome speedometer, tachometer, speed minder and power-adjustable front seat and power steering. The multi-year
restoration on this car was completed in 2013. Both the 361/303hp V8 and transmission were rebuilt as part of the
restoration. It is presented in Ember Red over Frost White with Bermuda Driftwood trim. The interior is beautifully
presented in jug-pattern brown with silver trim and brown loop carpet. It retains its factor in-dash clock and Town &
Country radio. The car resided in Arizona for over 50 years, and comes with restoration and maintenance receipts, sales
literature and owner's manual, as well as a copu of the 2013 Edsel Owners Club calendar, where it was featured as the March
calendar car."
