I bought the car last October from Mr. Paul R. Johnson. It was
shipped to me here in Finland and it arrived in the first week of December. Mr.
Johnson bought it from a dealer in Michigan so it could be that
it only has had three private owners. I love the car!

This is a well-preserved unrestored survivor. The silver and black vinyl bench interior
is in excellent condition and the chrome dash is brilliant! The exterior is clean and
the exterior chrome is in good condition. The undercarriage and frame are solid.

Notes:
The original
window sticker says this car was delivered to Floyd Rice Edsel, Inc. in Dearborn, MI.
The 223CID I-6 engine runs smoothly and the three-on-the-tree manual transmission shifts
smoothly, too. Our mechanics have been through the car and replaced the brakes, rebuilt
the carburetor, repaired the fuel system and made several other minor repairs, investing over
$3,000 to ensure this classic is reliable, road ready, and enjoyable!
