I believe the mileage is accurate because there is little wear to the steering wheel
and the brake pedal is in good shape, the exhaust is still original welded unit and is in
good shape. My father bought this car off a small car lot near our home in Tavares,
Florida around the year of 1970 when no car lot wanted an Edsel on their lot. He
brought it home and put it in the garage and there it set till his death in 1993. At
that point my siblings wanted to hall it to the junk yard because it was not worth anything
to them. I could not allow it to be crushed and destroyed so I brought it home with me,
to Richmond, IN. where it still resides. It is presently setting in my barn waiting for
me to fix its brakes and refurbish its paint.
