Notes:
As a long time car collector, I always wanted a 1958 Edsel Pacer four door hardtop as that was our family car when I was a teenager.  But, I wanted a really really good one and exceptional original Edsels are beyond very rare.  After 20 years of seriously looking, I found the Holy Grail of 1958 Edsel Pacers in the Dick Duncan private collection and museum located in Sterling Heights, Michigan and the museum was closing.

Other than a fine re-paint, it is a bone stock straight rust-free original.  The interior, like the whole twenty glorious feet of car, is so good it is hard to believe.  In my six years of pleasurable ownership is has been thoroughly sorted and maintained by a highly respected collector car mechanic.
You could comfortably and confidently get in it and drive it cross country.

If you are looking for perhaps the best original Edsel on the planet, you may have just found it.
