Backtrack and see if it will jump off somewhere. LOL
Seriously, I like it. But the greased lightening graphics need to go.

Todd... sadly it jumped off the trailer & refuses to get back on!
Luckily they're just vinyl & are history!

I tell you... I get no respect!
Put it on E-Bay and ask $ 20,000 for it.

Well....you didn't say you had a plan...!!
Definitely would be an unusual ride...was that a station wagon that was hacked off? Since they only made them in 58, 59 and 60 which one of those years is that Edsel....

Yeah... '59 Villager station wagon. The center section of the grill is in the front seat & it has an A/C unit under the dash & my motor has A/C & PS units. Definitely won't see another one at the shows... haha!!! I was really looking for an Edsel station wagon & you know I love Rancheros so...

My 2 cents...
Could be a cool ride if done correctly. An extended cab Ranchero[cl
Unlike some that are made from a sedan this could have a actual tailgate from the wagon and look like a Ranchero.
I'm with Don. Post up some pics of the back and the box area.
Nice find.[cl [cl

Bob, you would have loved this. A couple of years ago I went to a storage auction and when they opened up the door on a 10 x 20 foot unit it was filled to the roof with all Edsel parts. Everything from complete dashboards to engines to doors to seats, etc. This was not from a casual collector, it was probably from someone collecting parts to sell.
In one corner there was a huge stack of all side chrome and other chrome pieces. I considered bidding on it (it went for $1000) but I kept thinking I was going to have to move all this stuff, catalog it, learn what parts fit what model, and then try to sell it all on Ebay. So I passed it up.....it just looked like way too much work to me.

Good to see it was saved, I saw the ad on an Edsel group on FB. I've got a 59 Villager wagon myself.
