292 Ranger V8, Mile-o-matic 2-speed transmission, 3.10:1 axle ratio
Edsel number
701005 manufactured in Louisville, KY on September 29, 1959
Owner:
unknown (online auction car)
This is not a police package car, but was restored to resemble a vintage correct police
detective car from 1960. Updates include vintage correct police radio antenna on the
trunk (not permanently installed - magnetic mount), vintage correct California law enforcement
license plates (display only - not for street use), vintage correct Yankee police rotator,
factory correct radio delete plate (the Edsel radio is currently installed), and a vintage
correct portable Motorola police radio (non-functional for display only). If your interest
is not in having the car resemble a police car from the era, I can easily
remove everything and put it back to stock without any police equipment, including correct
Edsel full wheelcovers.
Seat upholstery was redone Edsel correct by the previous owner. New old stock 1960 only
Ford factory floor mat across the front. The overhead interior light is broken, but I've
included a new replacement for it. Interior door panels were also redone by the previous owner.
