Description of 1959 Edsel Ranger 4-door sedan |
|
1959 Edsel Ranger 4-door, LOW Miles, Pink/White, New Correct Interior Up for bids is an award-winning "Talisman Red" (aka, "Pink") and Snow White 1959 Edsel Ranger.With only 46,000 original miles, this car runs, drives and stops like new. The body and chassis aresolid and straight - very tight, without the typical rattles/squeaks of Ford products of the era.The paint, chrome and glass are in nice shape. Accessories include original radio, full wheel covers withspinner and body-colored applique, and the Edsel-only hooded side mirror. This Edsel's low mileage is attributed to its unique history. It was on display at the Museum of Automobilesin Arkansas, until the museum's founder passed away and the entire collection was sold to famed carcollector William Harrah. From there it was donated to Boston's WGBH Public Broadcasting station for theirwildly popular Channel 2 Auction. It was a featured auction item in May 1977, won by Dr. James Hall inPutnam, CT. The current owner (president of the New England Chapter of the Edsel Owners Club) purchasedthe car from Dr. Hall in October 2010. This Edsel recently completed a survivor restoration, where the car was kept as original as possible tomeet AACA Survivor Standards. New brakes, professionally rebuilt carburetor, new ignition components, etc.The seat upholstery was replaced with Edsel-correct "Surf Cloth" from SMS, and turned outgorgeous. Minor surface refinishing was applied to the doors and roof - the hood and trunk have original paint.The door panels, headliner, carpet and dash are all original. Reproduction Edsel front and rear floor mats are included. Its Mile-O-Matic automatic transmission was replaced with a rebuilt matching Edsel unit in 2012. Thecar shifts smoothly. It's always kept in dry indoor storage when it's not driven to car shows and cruisenights. Most recently it won the Best of Show award at the August 2018 North Shore Old Car Club meet.Its enormous trophy can go with the car if you want. Be warned, driving an iconic representative of the late'50s such as a big pink Edsel attracts a lot of attention. The only flaws are thin spots and wear in the original paint on the hood and front quarters, andminor paint loss from normal usage in the trunk - see photos.The only reason the Edsel is for sale is, it's garaged here in Salem, Massachusetts.Storage spaces are at a premium, and I'm losing the spot in 2019. So it's time to start lookingfor someone who'll care for the car in their own garage. The car has a current registration, has passedthe state inspection in September and comes with a clear title. This Edsel Ranger is ready to drive and enjoy. You're encouraged to schedule a viewing prior to bidding so you know exactly how nice the car is.Please call Peter at 978-744-9198 or send questions via eBay. Seller will assist with access to the car, but pick-up arrangements are the responsibility of thesuccessful bidder. The Edsel will be available for pickup after the funds have cleared.
