Notes:
The Edsel was my grandfather's that was left to me when he passed, for I was the one who
drove him to the shows when he was unable to drive anymore. He bought the car in the
mid-80's and did a total restore on it. All the paint was sanded off to bare
metal. The engine was rebuilt by Ford in Johnston, PA. There is new upholstery
in it. The paint is blue metallic clear coat with snow white roof. This vehicle
has never seen rain it is kept in the heated garage that was built just for it. I
replaced the water pump a couple of years ago, oil is changed every spring it has a new
regulator on it. It is going to need tires because they are old (not worn, just
old). There is some chrome coming off on the rear bumper - very hard to see unless
you stand just right - and one small tear in the headliner from hauling it back during
restoration (the wind caught it). Other then that it needs a wash and to be driven or
shown. There are some parts that will go with it - a windshield that does have a ding
in it, a rear glass that is fine, a rebuilt fuel pump, and some hubcaps.
