The 1958 Edsel Roundup

The 2-door Edsel station wagon had a total production of 963 units. Click images to enlarge.

Derek Nash recently photographed this time-worn Roundup in Havana, Cuba. The car's had a hard life, but it's still kicking!

	This Roundup, W8US727186 is believed to be one of the dozen wagons used by the Edsel Division to haul their special service trailers. It was purchased by Mike Hinsch in August 2005.
	Remarkably, a second Roundup Service Vehicle, W8US726985 is also still in existence.
	Finished in Kelly Green and White, the car has all the available power options. Axle and color codes on the VIN plate are non-production.
	The interior looks in rough but restorable condition. Photos were submitted by Jim Turner.
	As of early 2005, the car is complete and resting comfortably somewhere in Ohio.
	Original Service vehicles wouldn't have to be restored in order to take all the attention at an Edsel show. The fact that they still exist in ANY condition is amazing!

	1976 EOC Eastern Regional; Oriskany, NY. This car was owned by Jack Easterbrook at the time...
	... and here she is today, now owned by Kevin Rogler of Scituate, RI. The car has changed a bit during the last 25 years; wide whites, spinners, red roof and scallop, and the luggage rack has been removed. The red looks nice!

	There's an autumn tradition at Dan Crossman's place, and that's taking a few pictures of the cars as they're made ready for winter. That's the tri-tone Pacer hardtop with the Roundup in the foreground. The Pacer is the finest running car I've ever owned thanks to the four grand I dumped into the engine and transmission.
	Here's the Roundup again. She got a tune-up and a new accelerator pump today. What a difference that made.
	Same car from a lower elevation. You can see dog dish hub caps on this car too.
	Still looks good despite the thousands of miles driven since restoration.
	Look at all the delete stuff on this car!
	Driver's side view of interior. Those maintenance stickers on the door are original, fifties & sixties vintage.
	Three delete bezels! That's an aftermarket oil pressure gauge underneath.
	Three people could sleep back here.

	Bruce Waymire sent this nice pencil sketch he made of his Roundup.
	Here's Bruce's Roundup as seen right around the time he bought it from Randy Rarick.

	This shot was taken quite some time later. Bruce is in the process of sprucing up the car.
	Looks like he's taking off the front fenders.
	Yup.
	Little sanding on the roof.
	And a little more.
	Front fenders back on.
	The car is really starting to take shape.
	Cleaning off the engine block.
	Ditto.
	Rebuilding.
	Whoa! Looks like new!
	Not bad.

	The Roundup drove down to Corning to visit the International Thunderbird Club's national meet. It created quite a sensation among the Ford fans. This was before we left.
	In '58, New York State issued SUBURBAN license plates for station wagons. This may have been the last year for that, but I don't really know.
	Profile of the Roundup.

	Jere Gauss' daily driver from around 1983 to 1989 in Long Beach, CA. This originally white with red top & scallop Roundup is one of the last 1958's to be produced, with a production schedule date of August 26, 1958. The car is seen here at a 1986 Anaheim meet.
