Condition:
Needs Restoration
Originality:
Cloned from a 1960 Ford
Accessories included:
Radio, Carpet, Wide Whitewall Tires
Notes:
Currectly in an auction in The Netherlands, as reported on social media. Although this car claims to be '702286, there are many
who believe (and have presented supporting evidence) that is a counterfeit 1960 Edsel convertible. It currently sports a Ford engine, the
rear deck welding cuts are evident and the dataplate is brand new with an incorrect format. Needless to say, the car's questionable
authenticity has generated quite a stir in the online Edsel community.
It's believed by many that the original OU15W702286 was indeed lost in the early 1970's.
