Since purchasing in May 2003 we have updated with new chrome reverse rims

rear tail lights and back up lights to 1959 Cadilac with blue dots and clear lenses for
back up lights, installed new Monroe spring helper shocks, tinted side and rear
windows. Installed vinyl graphics for Elaines Custom Shirts, as we use this
vehicle to attend car show events to sell custom made hot rod shirts.
This Edsel has proven to be a very reliable car that has served us well for the last
6 years with regular maintenance.

This is not an original show car, but is a very presentable driver. It presently has
a newer stereo, but comes with original radio, gas tank and roof rack. Can be put back
to gasoline power with little difficulty.

Recently painted non-original colors, 390 with aluminum 4bbl manifold on propane since
rebuild eleven years ago, C6 with shift kit, redone interior, still serviceable. The
glass and chrome are in reasonable shape, some pits and dings, but still
presentable. This car has been used as a daily driver for 10 years and has power
steering and power disc brakes. It has been maintained on a regular basis and has
proven to be very reliable.
