Notes:
This Edsel has been driven to many Edsel events since 1968 by the original
owner, Mr. Porter Goff and later upon my ownership, starting in 1984. It has been
a consistant winner for it's originality and pristine condition.
Along with my purchase, the sale included the original new car window sticker, sales
agreement, and all California registration certificates from 1959. It was
originally sold through C.B. Knickerbocker's Inc., Santa Ana, CA in October 1959 and
driven to Alameda, CA by Mr. Goff.
