Description
This fabulous 1958 Edsel, owned by only two families, is perfect for cruising around the Bay Area! It has been featured in numerous parades in the wine country, is in very good original condition and with a little TLC can be restored to its original glory! The car runs great, the interior is clean and in the glove compartment you will find the original owner’s manual! Cherry Red and Snow White...and all seven dwarves could fit inside! Flashy, spacious and near mint-condition, this ’58 Edsel Pacer is a collector’s gem. The 50-year-old beauty boasts just 76,000 original miles and has been stored inside by its two owners who’ve lavished constant TLC on it. The interior is clean and in the glove compartment you will find the original owner’s manual! A classy, class III, four-door sedan named after Henry Ford’s son, the car has its own incredible history of Bay Area cruising and wine country parades. According to “Escape Roads”, Auto Week 12/24/07, the front end is downright sexy featuring dual headlights, a shiny chrome bumper and an ovoid air intake between two grilles. The back features a “contrastingly horizontal theme with taillights high for safety.” While the current owner fondly refers to this middle-aged beauty as a “sweet ride”, Auto Week lauds its road feel: “Its manual steering is sharp and communicative, and the mighty torque (400 lb-ft) and aggressively raspy exhaust of its 303-hp, 361-cid V8 provide endless entertainment. Contemporary testers clocked 0-to-60-mph runs of 10.2 seconds. We found the Edsel athletic, if not sporty, with a ride that was comfortable but not soft.” This classic auto is great for not only every day or Sunday drives, but for parades and trade shows because everyone loves Edsels! Drive this immaculate showpiece home from the BIG NIGHT (Just check your speed on the awesome rotating-drum speedometer!) and you’ll find yourselves the envy of car collectors everywhere.
