Notes:
A rare 9-passenger Edsel wagon, one of only a handful made.  A very cool car, freshly plucked from Hugh Lesley’s Lemon Grove in Pennsylvania.  It has been there since 1983 in the woods.  I am going to restore it and enjoy one of the rarest Edsels ever made.

This rare and restorable 9 passenger is the best of the lot.  He sold it to a guy about a year ago, but they have yet to pick it up.  It may be for sale again soon.  Also note the 3.56 rear end.
