Description of 1958 Edsel Pacer --

By Restorations Unlimited, known for very thourough, no expense spared, award winning restorations. This car has been shown at two concourse events, won 1st place at both. Has photo documentation showing the car completely disassembled down to the very last nut and bolt. It was completely stripped to bare metal. Body removed from the frame and put on a rotisserie. Every part was restored to as good or better then factory condition. Some great mechanical upgrades were made that greatly... improve the function of this car. The engine was enhanced and runs on today's gas. Has power 4 wheel disc brake system with drilled and slotted rotors. Has gas shocks and radial wide whitewall tires. Clock was upgraded to quartz movement. Has 5 radial whitewall. The car has incredible body and paint. The chrome is very impressive because every single piece is redone, every piece in and out. The car is like a piece of jewelry. Wether you want to add a centerpiece to your collection, or you want that one collector car that puts most others to shame, or if you want an old car to drive that is better then it was new; this is the car. Remember it's half price and there's no waiting! The Edsel Legacy: Ford had a void in their lineup that needed to be filled. It was decided that an entirely new car division and an entirely new car is what they needed. The Edsel was kept very tight lipped under extremely tight security in anticipation of it's release. One of the biggest marketing campaigns of the time was launched. 2.5 million people visited dealer showrooms the day the Edsel was unveiled. The hype actually raised people's expectations to such an extreme level, the car could not live up to people's expectations. The most outstanding features would probably be the horse collar grill and innovative Teletouch push button shifter in the middle of the steering wheel. Among other things that were working against Edsel's success was a failing economy. Car sales across the board were way down. After only 3 years, millions and millions of dollars lost and great embarrassment, Ford scrapped the Edsel completely. Now today the Edsel's are a very sought after collectible. Such limited production #s make them rare, especially a convertible. The Edsel story will be a significant chapter in automotive history. That makes it that much more intriguing today, like the Tucker. Wether you want to add a centerpiece to your collection, or you want that one collector car that puts most others to shame, or if you want an old car to drive that is better then it was new; this is the car.
