    Hello, I have been in the car scene all of my life thanks to my father and his father. I guess you can say its a "family tradition."
    I have got a few cars but my favorite is my 58 Edsel Ranger 2 door HT. I purchased the car last summer and brought it home to add to my collection. I also have a 59 Edsel Ranger 4 door sedan that was given to me by my grandfather just before he p***ed away. This car was bought brand new in 1959 by my family and is still hanging around and on the road! Last I also have a 64 Impala that I also enjoy. I have been truly blessed to be able to aquire all of these cars. I am always working on cars, whether it be mine or other peoples cars.
     
  2. Welcome from Kansas City, aaahh the Edsel...some laugh but I would love to add a '58 more door to my collection. Very unique lines and no mistaking what it is. (what part of Iowa, I spend time at Camp Dodge just outside Johnston).

    Welcome from Illinois. I'm a big fan of Edsels myself. I've had a couple of them now. They always get a lot of attention.

    Edsels are cool!

    Welcome aboard js4crzn
    Edsels are unsung superstars of the late 50's - sure, they've got a look that only a guy could love, but that is part of their charm.
    Cheers.

    Glad to see you on the HAMB! I met you last summer at the Washington cruise.

    I have a friend near Kalona with a 58 Ranger 2drHT for sale if you need another :)
