Notes:
This Edsel was restored a few years ago and has rarely been driven since having the work done.  Solid body, rockers, floors, fenders and rear quarters.  There is a little bubbling in the rear apron below the gas filler but nothing that appears to be serious.  Paint is very respectable and shines well.  This is an original California black plate car.  Nice set of 8.00x14 B.F. Goodrich Silvertown bias ply white wall tires.  This is an original power steering and power brake car.  Interior is in very good condition.  The engine was rebuilt at the time of restoration and was a solid lifter cam car originally and unchanged.  The car runs and drives well but has been off the road as a daily driver for 5-6 years and could use the usual maintenance you would expect with a car that has been sitting for some time: Carb rebuild, brakes adjusted and checked, fluids changed, etc.  Most everything electrical appears to function as it should excluding the wipers.  All glass including the windshield appears to be original and in very good condition.  Clear California title.  The car is not currently registered.
