Projects Edsel Longroofs - 1959 Edsel Villager

I hear there's a nice 58 Dodge longroof in the classifieds.....

 

You got that backwards. in 58 there were 2,294 6 passengers made and only 978 9 passengers.

and in 59 there were 5687 6 passengers made and 2133 9 passengers.

my 58 is a 9 pass.

 

I pickup this Edsel a few months back for a measly $1400. Drive the shit out of it, I've done some things to it already, still got a log way to go, but its been good so far!

 

Ears....and everyone else....I am so jealous right now....

 

Finally Got It DUN

Its a H.A.M.B. acquisition from Section 8

This is how the H.A.M.B. changed my life.

Enjoy,Oldmics

 

WOW Oldmics --- just WOW! What a BEAUTIFUL car! You did an amazing job --- I'm new here but saw how you got that car from Section 8 - and I saw the before pics. Just - WOW!

 

The 58s have by far some of the coolest tail lights around! Great job. I have some glass skirts ( i know I know) They were cheap and I need to cut them to fit around the pipes. Post some pics when I lower it and instal the skirts.

 

Oldmics where did you get the Edsel Battery?

 

Got the battery from Antique Auto Battery.Spotted it at Carlise on there table.

Back when I was an Edsel owner, I always wanted to find an Edsel Villager wagon to build an Edsel "Ranchero" from.
25years ago I sold mine, and I've regretted it ever since.

 

older post1, but man I'd love to find an Edsel wagon
