Notes:
This Edsel was restored years ago and has seen little use since the work was
completed. Very dry car that was brought over to the dry California climate early
in it's life and received it's original California black plates. Original matching
dealer sticker on the trunk to the original key holder. The engine and drive train are
in good condition. This car runs and drives well but has been sitting for a few years
out of daily driver rotation and will need the usual maintenance that you would expect: Carb
rebuild, brakes adjusted and checked, fluids changed, etc. The water pump appears to be
leaking as well and possibly either the pump and/or the gasket should be changed. Most
all of the electrical appears to function as it should. Appears to have all original
glass in very good condition. Very solid car and appears to have no rust/cancer. Paint
and interior both appear to have been done at the time of restoration and both are
respectable. Nice set of bias ply whitewall tires. All of the trim and chrome
appear to be in very good condition. Clear California title. The car is not
currently registered.
