not too shabby

a little fender damage there, but hey--- this would be a good one to have.

 

I like the chrome smoothies and whitewalls! It's a look that is just right on so many wagons.

 

Interesting, in general I don't like smoothies but they look quite natural on this one.

Price is spot on in my opinion! That is a survivor, of the type you don't see anymore that old. Sheesh....

Learned one thing interesting. The hood opens to the rear, unlike the Ford of the same year which opens forward like the Fords and Edsels in '58.

 

With the 'horsecollar' grill center section being raised, it would have been impossible to engineer a front-hinged hood like the ford.

 

You mean like this Marshall?

 

Well, I guess I was exaggerating.....
What is that in the pic, a '58 Edsel or something else?

 

Yes, '58 Edsel. I took pictures of that car one day many years ago for reference. After buying my wagon, I was surprised at the huge differences in the construction.




Thought the two shared more than they did....
