The left side of this clay mock-up is a Roundup 2-door wagon, while the side that can be seen is done up with the wood and trim of a Bermuda. Note how the roof pillars differ from one side to the other.<!-- START HOME FREE FOOTER CODE --><!-- END HOME FREE FOOTER CODE -->

my pacer missing some*****ons... notice my hat, My neighbour asked from me, "That hat came with car, right ? "
After Drugasm and I lowered the hell out of his car we figured out why the back tires are already on at this point on the****embly line!
wow, this thread has become virtual cornucopia of Edsel memorabilia. Thanks to everyone who has posted all of this great history!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
Nice Pacer! Interesting; it looks like the manual-shift Pacer used the same steering wheel and horn ring as the '58-'60 T-bird. Was that the case with the stick-shift Ranger as well? Or did they use the regular Ford wheel?
Our 1958 non-Teletouch auto Villager wagon uses the T-Bird steering wheel as well. The only difference is the Edsel only horn*****on. Like this one: Here is a manual Ranger wheel
Ha, that manual Ranger picture is my car. It took me a few minutes to notice it. I was looking at it and I was saying to myself,...... that one has the tach like mine, and its missing a chrome steering wheel spear like mine...... and a guage from the pod........ hey wait a minute. At least I know I have options now in finding that spear. Looks like that wheel got around.
Thanks guys for keeping this thread going. Great pics and info. I have always had an interest in Edsels but have never owned one. The first car I ever moved on my own (I won't say drove ) was a new 58 Citation, turqouise and white with the teletouch, owned by my cousin. I was ten years old.
My friend has a 2 door 58 Corsair, been in storage a long time. We will be getting her back on the road soon!
Here are some pictures of our new Edsel that I picked up a week or two ago. 54,000 miles. 361 with the tele touch. She has only gone 4,000 miles since 1974 and has only been sitting for 4 years. Plans are to have the seats redone (with new covers replacing the old)carpet, brakes, full tune up, have the front and rear windows re-sealed, drop it 2" and some new exhaust. The car has been garaged for it's whole life except the past 4 months it sat out parked where it is in the pictures.
I have all of the paper work from when it was new. I will scan it and post on this thread when I get a chance.
Wagon Continental kit? Really?? Split rear bumper...Am I seeing things? Anyone know what bumper that may be?
