332 Express V8, Mile-o-matic 2-speed transmission, 2.91:1 axle ratio
Edsel number
711255 manufactured in Louisville, KY on December 4, 1958
Owner:
unknown (online auction car)
Mechanically, the engine will start, run and carefully yard drive. Carefully meaning
NO BRAKES. The car has no brakes which is most likely due to leaking brake lines or
wheel cylinders. We used an under hood gas can to start and run the engine because the
condition of the gas tank and lines were questionable. The car will yard drive onto a
trailer. The transmission appears to work, OK. Please, don't ask me if you can
drive it home, because you can't.
This car will obviously need a total restoration. I bought the car on a Bill of Sale
from a licensed Connecticut Dealer. Connecticut doesn't require titles on any vehicle
over 10 years old, so there is no title with the car.

Notes:
This car is pretty much original, with the exception of bodywork along both
lower sections and a repaint (Turquoise and white). There is bubbling and evidence of
prior body work on the lower sections. The frame, floors and body mounts all seem to
be nice solid condition which is a big plus. The trunk floor looks good but has a
fiberglass matting repair in the center.
