The automatic transmission shifts out nicely and the car drives down the road as it should. Brakes
may need some servicing in the future, but they do stop the car.

Originality:
All parts are factory authentic for the car
Accessories included:
Radio, Whitewall Tires, Wheelcovers, Windshield Washer
Notes:
This Edsel has seen an older re-paint that looks presentable with a few minor drips, scratches and
nicks. The two-tone red & white color scheme really sets it apart and gives it a striking
appeal. The red vinyl and black pebble cloth seats are in great shape for it's age, though there
is a poke and pull here and there on the fabric. The dash looks great with just a few signs of
wear. Door panels still look fresh and there is no obvious rust around the door edges or sills.
The Edsel tag is present on the driver's side and it looks to be in amazing shape. The gauges appear
to work well as does the clock. The radio was billed as 'working' when we bought the car, but I
have not been able to get it to receive stations, though some slight buzzing sound can be heard. The
wipers work, though they are a bit slow until the vacuum pressure builds up. The air circulator fan
works and blows in outside air.
Overall this car is in amazing shape for it's age and should stand the test of time as a beautiful car
to drive and collect.

Notes:
I had the transmission rebuilt and drove the car the 50 miles home and backed her into
the garage and it has not been started since. I have to remove this car to make room
for other projects. I recently retired and have no desire nor time (funds) to complete
the necessary work on this car. Car has ACTUAL miles of 19,377. NO
KIDDING. It's got usual rust, in rear quarters and rockers, and there is about a 4 inch
square hole in the driver's floor near the corner post. All of the glass is good except
the drivers vent wing is cracked. I have a replacement with the correct logo. The
mirrors are in the car, but there is no glass. The dash is virtually gone. The
radio worked. I believe the car the little windshield washer set
up that runs off the fan belt. The interior is the original and in excellet condition
except for a tear in the upper-right-top of the back seat. I believe caused from the
car sitting where the sun was able to hit it.
