that is gone, but did you see the retractable for 7500? Man, wish I has the liquid cash right now. But like a few guys here, the IRS sent me a nasty gram too. lol

The Edsel wagon looks pretty complete. What a waste.........

price of scrap metal being what it is drives a lot of these. they were all probably complete when he started parting these out. will likely drive down tomorrow and buy a couple of things.

I'd be pulling that roof rack off the wagon for sure. Those are getting harder to find and fetch a good buck these days to.

So what kind of money? a note or two? hate to buy something and get stuck with it.

Price: $1,250.00
Number available: 1
Quantity:


This roof rack is made by Style Craft and was used by Ford and installed at the dealer. This one needs the potmetal ends re-plated, all the stainless bars and rails are dent free and would just need polishing.

These roof racks are extremely hard to find and I have seen them sell for a lot.

went and checked it out today, bought a couple of things.  The edsel wagon is a typical northwest parked behind a barn total rust bucket. Really nothing more than a parts car. The 57 wagon came from California pretty much a shell  was bought for the roof rack which will someday end up on his wifes' 2 dr wagon.  The 58 wagon is being traded for parts he needs to build an Edsel gasser. He parts out 57-9 fords and Edsels on a regular basis might be worthwhile to keep his number if one needs parts. he told me he's left seat belt brackets in cars. Doesn't have the room to store stuff so at some point whatever doesn't sell becomes scrap.

I did buy a wagon backseat from him, in great shape ($75-).  Even though my car is a business coupe will need safe seating for the grand kids.  Having the seats fold forward and down will still maintain the bc illusion. Now will have to figure out where to cut the seat as my floor is up 3 inches (channeled) and then cut the seat mounting bracket so there wont be any gap once folded.  Need to find a pair of the latches that hold the back seat in place, the ones on the rear tire well hump. If anyone has an unneeded pair please let me know.

He does have a rust free 59 Ranchero for sale ($2500-) 352/auto. All trim etc.... looks real solid. Not my cup of tea so just gave it a quick look over.
