Notes:
This Edsel was received by Rory Worley as a payment of an outstanding debt from one
of his customers. The license plates on the car expired in 1998. The interior
is all original and in good condition, but the front seat is very faded. The interior
needs new door panels and a headliner.
The radio works. The engine only runs when gas is poured directly into the
carbeurator. The carb was rebuilt in 1997, so it may need a new fuel pump or a
fuel line is clogged. The car only has 2 hubcaps. There is no leakage when it
comes to oil and transmission fluids. The exhaust system seems to be fairly
new. The window on the passengers side door has a small crack in the bottom right
corner, but it is hardly noticible. If the car was to be show quality,
the luggage rack and bumpers should be re-chromed. The car needs new tires.
