Edsel number
709128 manufactured in Louisville, KY on August 29, 1957
Owner:
John C. Kreuz
The E-400 sounded REALLY healthy. I replaced all the taillights and got the trunk to
open and close. It's a little out of alignment, but when I redo the body, I will take
care of that. The interior was redone ten years ago. I painted the whitewalls
myself (until I find a set of 2-3/4" whitewall P215/75R14 radials). She's almost
roadworthy. She still has her hood ornament, too.

Notes:
I got it running and the brakes that I thought were bad just needed fluid. I have yet
to test drive it since it's missing all the Tele-touch electrical parts. Also, I have to
start it from the starter solenoid (I will just rig up a button under the dash.)
