Notes:
FOR SALE: This 1959 Edsel Ranger. I'm asking $1575.
Everything, hood, trunk, windows (all glass orig FoMoCo), doors, etc. opens/closes, rolls
up/down and are in very good condition. Interior is very good and the seats have seat
covers, (I took the rear one off), roof liner and door panels are in excellent
condition. Dashboard is very good, complete with all knobs, radio, clock, heater, glove
compartment, etc. and rugs are original. Have an extra grill and lens. Never
been in accident.
The car has been sitting since 1999. It belonged to an old lady in Peoria,
who fell ill and last used it in that year. It was always parked in the barn. The
last time car ran was in 1999 when lady’s nephew used it. Then it went to estate sales,
a local bought it and then storage. I bought it 2 years ago & garaged. Engine
spins, but this car should be towed or trailer-ed. I don’t have time and wife needs
garage. I have described this car to the best of my abilities. I am not a mechanic
and have not touched the car other than it being trailer-ed to my garage.
