Post by: CobraJoe on 2019-03-01 16:02
Don't really know much about Edsels, but seems reasonably priced and in decent shape.

Nice car, price is just a touch high but in the range given it's condition.  Don't think it is a true survivor, look like it has been painted, a touch of paint on the vin tag, no door rubber, and a few other "hints"....I would talk seriously if I were looking....but I have one that I "rescued".....

In the northeast that car would be a steal at 20 grand. I wish I had storage, you can bet I have that car consigned to the next Mohegan Sun auction.

That's what I was thinking Lou, $20,000, AND IT"S negotiable, seems reasonably priced to me. You couldn't restore it for that.

The 57 was a good original 67,000 mile car, only thing non stock were the seat covers (door & side  panels were original) car went for $13,500. When I got there the car was sold, my fault, I took the time to price out new factory seat covers from LB. The car had been owned by the sellers father for almost 50 years. I hope the new owner brings the car back to stock.
