Notes:
"The car was built August 14, 1957 at Somerville, MA. and
apparently delivered to southern Ohio. Current plans are to restore the
car to its unique original monochrome paint scheme once I have all the
necessary parts, upholstery etc. gathered. The car runs well and is
proving to be reliable and comfortable. A very brittle hand written build
sheet was discovered in the glove compartment and nearly got thrown out. See
it posted in the Edsel.com gallery on the
Assorted Literature page as
listed above; I will appreciate anyone translating the codes on the build sheet as there are
some I don't understand."
