Notes:
This car is in excellent shape, drive her anywhere. Her name is Marilyn. She was
photographed by a professional photographer in October 2003, and she should make some of the
2006 calendars. She's in a book that just came out, American Cars, Past &
Present by Matt Delorenzo, pg. 199, a 2-page spread. She's the only Edsel in
there.
She was painted in May 2002, Swift Red and Snow White. There are a couple of small
chips off the paint, but I have touch up paint. Interior is pretty decent, new carpet,
dash just taken out and painted. She has 5 Coker W.W. tires, fender skirts, and spinner
hubcaps. She has dual hooded mirrors, and dual antennas, and Town & Country
radio. The 361 ci engine is good. It had 135 to 140 lbs of compression last time
I checked. She has a Petronix electronic ignition instead of points, an Edelbrock carb,
and chrome valve covers with E400 on them, new fuel pump and PS pump. I have everything
to put back original. Front end has been rebuilt. She has a new wiper motor, and
I put on electric w/washers. She has a digital water temp guage, and an amp guage,
new Smitty's mufflers, new reproduction tail light lenses w/chrome tape. The rear floor
pans had holes, and were patched instead of replaced. The fronts are good. Other
new items are the top (now white) and weatherstripping, brakes, heater core, trunk mat, and I
rebuilt the steering column. The Teletouch works great. I had the tach and the
speedo serviced when I had the dash out.

Notes:
As seen at the San Ramone EOC Meet, on the show Amazing America. This car is in
excellent mechanical shape with new radiator, exhaust, generator, hoses, belts, rebuilt
power brake booster, good radial tires, will go anywhere. Interior
is in better than average shape, needs carpets. Black vinyl top is old but looks good,
rear window needs replacement. Body has rust in rockers, bottom of fenders
and in rear floor boards. She's not perfect but complete. This car
deserves a good home because it has served us well!
