Equipment
361/303hp, automatic, hub caps, whitewalls, Teletouch transmission, dual mirrors, pushbutton radio.
Condition
The headlight bezels aren't straight. Paint chip right below the grille. Orange peel on the window pillars. Otherwise attractive paint. The paint around the steering wheel cap is wrinkling and the gauges are unrestored, but the rest of the interior looks great. Engine bay and underbody are very clean and well done. Uneven door gaps. Lots of money was spent on this rarely seen Villager wagon, but it's still not a concours car.
Market commentary
There were a number of intriguing station wagons on the Santa Monica docket, indicative of the generally strong interest in our parents' (or grandparents') preferred pre-minivan transportation. Despite their numbers they generally, like this Edsel, brought appropriate money. This Edsel would look good with surfboards on the roof.
