    So I have a Canadian 59 Edsel. The vin and data plate have been decoded by a Edsel group, but the trim code seems to be a mystery to them. I've searched the internet with no luck. I see many Edsel enthusiasts on the site and I thought maybe somebody on here might know what trim 90 was. I do know the car came off the line late June 59 making it one of the last Edsels built in Canada. 20220902_151311.jpg Thankyou

    I am a Edsel fan and my question doesn't answer your question but can you post pictures of the car? I love Edsels.

    Yes I believe it was Phil Skinner that decoded everything. He said they have no reference for this number and this is the first 90 trim code ever recorded for a 59. Kinda weird

  8. Got any friends at DMV? I registered my car in NY with a Colorado title and the Witches of Eastwick at the local DMV disappeared with the title for a 1/2 hour. They came back and corrected the vehicle weight (more $$ for them...) and gave me the factory color combo, which I could not decode myself.

    In Canada the Mto is no help.
     
  10. Does the EDSEL GROUP have access to FORD of CANADA cataloging?
