This is a lifelong Arizona car until it was sold at auction and ended up on Ebay which is where I purchased it.  I have spent about $23,000 in the professional restoration and now have what I feel is a pretty good example of what an Edsel was.  New front suspension, new rubber, new interior with repro fabric carpet, engine rebuilt, new dual exhaust.  Nice car, had taken trophies.

The story is that I saw the car on Ebay and casually mentioned to my wife that I had seen it... when I first met her she had just bought her first new car (59 4-door Ranger-stick six)
  The 2003 version, with less color and open fenders:
 
2006: Done more than I can say here.  New front suspension, complete engine rebuild, new interior, exterior looks like new.  New Coker tires, rechromed pitted chrome.
