Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Teletouch push button automatic, black steel wheels with color coded wheel covers, Goodyear whitewalls,continental kit, power top, power steering, power brakes, bench seats, floating speedometer, pushbutton AM radio.

Condition

From the Charlie Thomas collection Very good older paint and chrome overall, but there are some big flaws in the back The spare wheel cover is chipped heavily and has rust coming through the exposed spots The white rear deck is chipped as well Lightly discolored top Very good interior An older restoration that, aside from the trouble spots in the rear, is still very pretty but warrants immediate attention before it gets any worse

Market commentary

Edsels particularly the convertibles and station wagons have a loyal cult following, but not much interest outside that set. This car certainly had some needs, but nothing too daunting for a knowledgeable new owner. No harm no foul, the price is realistic.
