Looks like the Newport Resort is gonna be full of Hambers! I just booked 2 rooms myself. Been looking forward to this for 2 years!
Its an English Ford or Anglia somewhere arourd 57-59. Same car used in the Harry Potter movies.......Yes I have kids.

Sell the 62, buy the 64 back..Then drop a 289 or 302 with a 3 speed manual in the 61 wagon. The aod will take too much power away from the small...
Hell No! Don't chop or channel that car! There's enough people screwing up nice model A's today. The only thing I would add is put the hood on it....
What ever you do dont put a small boring chevrolet it it. I am partial to the sbf ,esp. the 289. I have them in several of my cars, I even ahve...
I'm loving this Edsel thread! I'll see if I can post some pics of mine(my avitar). Its a 18k mile original that I Hot Rodded. Now if I can find a...
My Edsel draws attention, more than my 66 mustang. I get a lot of "what is it?" and "I haven"t seen one of those for years". But my favorite by...
DIck's Magoo's Red 1929 roadster in the pics is THE roadster for me! I still have the street rodder magazine with the 29 inside. Its basic ,...
It all comes down to respect. Either someone has it or they don't. I park in the back forty and take up 2 spaces (you almost have to in an Edsel)....
Well, as an Edsel owner i'm partial to FoMoCo. However i do own a 1978 Dodge Lil Red Express truck. Anything Dodge built is way better than owning...
Junkyardjeff is correct. I've been fooling with small block fords for years. Unless you're lucky enough to find a 1969-70-71 ford car with no...
Thanks to everyone for the welcome's! Its nice to be among (mostly) like minded people!
Big Bad Dad, I think they are still having it this year. Its very small compared to what it used to be. When it was in the Wal-hell parking lot...
Yeah, It does have the same floor pans as a 61-64. The f350 was built that way in 65. I guess they used left over parts to build the big trucks....
The coolest thing ive found in a "farm junk yard" was a 1970 boss 302 body. The owners son barrell rolled it in 1972. The only useable parts left...
Thanks guys for the compliments. The Edsel in my avitar is my 58 Edsel. Its only got 18k miles on it. I need to get a 428 or 427 for it. I...

These cars are great. swaps to small blocks are easy . as are disc brake upgrades. If its a straight drive a t-5 tranny is a great choice. watch...
What do you want to know about a 1963 fairlane? Is it a2dr hard top or a post car? The 1963 fairlane didnt come factory with a big block. Came...
The 59 edsel rear end is the same as a 57-58-59-ford fairlane as far as width and bolt pattern. I narrowed the original rear end in my 58 and used...
