OH, Got My NEW Toy TOO!!!

[Mr.Gussett]

Well, I got me a new toy too! After my wife had her hearse delivered I had the same guy go pick up my NEW 58 Edsel and haul it to my shop!
It's real clean too ! All of the stainless trim is in real good shape and is piled inside of it! Only 37,000 actual miles too! Whatcha think about this UGLY Duckling? Going to have fun with this BEAST![cl

 

[RoddingRon]

Putting all that chrome back on my 59 Edsel was a pain in the buttocks...but they are so ugly they're cool. Good luck with your 58

 

[Elguap0]

Super cool. I can't wait to see the build....Any ideas?

 

[Sam_Fear]

That looks wicked without the grills. Nice car!

 

[earthman]

'58 4dr hardtop, the only thing better would have been a convertible
What's your plans Mr. G?

 

[ratrodz]

i really like the speedometer in those cars

 

[Gastrick]

Oh now I see.....you got something for the wife so you could sneak another one in for yourself.

 

[Mr.Gussett]

Got it!

Oh now I see.....you got something for the wife so you could sneak another one in for yourself.

WELL DUH!!


OK so you have pulled that trick too I see!
Elguapo, Plans are to paint it up in a satin color of either dark blue or burgandy with silverish top and inset,Bag it and nice wheels and tires?
Maybe????????????? Going to get everything straightened around and running good first![S

 

[myoldtrucks]

OK, how about this for a personalized plate: "puckrup"...???? Hmmmmm???

 

[Rat'l Trap]

I always see a face in a car's front end. The lights are the eyes, the grill and bumper are the nose and mouth. Well you get the idea. Anyway, the Edsel always make me think of a fox that ate a sour persimmon and is all puckered up. So I like the license plate idea too [cl

 

[ratrodney]

Geesh! That things a monster Porter.

Cant wait to see it in person. RR

 

[Mr.Gussett]

Photo Chop???

Is there anyone on here that can photochop this pic ?
Slammed on the ground and painted either dark blue,dark green or burgandy with silver inset on side and top???[S
Thanks!

 

[Drifter]

Nice Edsel, I've been wanting a wagon for a while, just can't find one in the great lakes region that isn't fully rusted.

 

[hotrod preacher]

i think its a cool old car-they had some "neat" features didn't they...

i remember an old guy that had 2 or 3 of them setting around 20 years ago--never did know what happened to all his stuff when he died, [S

sorry for that ramble.....anyway edsels are making a comeback--perhaps more desirable now than when new!!


keep us posted

 

[Sam_Fear]

Here's a couple. And a little chop (which it doesn't need at all).

 

[Mr.Gussett]

Oooohh!

OH Hey thanks Sam_ Fear,
I really like the Greeeeeeen!
MMMMMM yea..... How about burgandy???
Oh decisions,decisions.............

 

[Sam_Fear]

I really tried for the burgundy instead of blue, but it either looked purple or black. I have a pretty old version of PS. Edsel's look heavy and just scream to be dropped. Don't need much else. Awesome find.

 

[rainman]

That car would be a bear to chop, and the glass a nightmare. Would look way cool tho.

 

[racer93]

hmmmmmm,.. got to get to the drawing board!!!

for some reason that back window would make one badbutt windshield,....hmmmmm. make a convertible out of that and I'll take the back glass, oh wait it would be twice as wide as my project. Shucks,

I got an idea, no chop four door eliminate the front and rear window trim, window wings removed, and do a little mod to the front of the roof (visor style) to match the rear slope of roof. Then to set it off rear view of the car, a couple big ol exhaust pipes (talking 8" to 10") to give it that jet powered look to match the front end. Wait a minute then it would look like the Jetsons car,..........

 

[racer93]

Cad hearse pics?

Hey where's the pics of the hearse,... we are dying to see it!
