This Edsel would most likely grade out as a 3 (on Old Car Price Guide listings).  Owner has lost storage and vehicle needs to have a good home.  Vehicle has not been driven for approximately 3 years - suggest a complete brake job.  Driver side wing glass cracked, needs exhaust manifold gasket and other minor details to make a very nice completion of restoration.  Body, paint and chrome are in good condition and all items of vehicle are there.

It has been restored by the car's owner (my father-in-law) about eight years ago.  He has driven it about one thousand miles.  The front seat is electric but not original.  The interior was redone but is starting to show some deterioration.  The chrome and paint are in good shape.  There is some rust on the front of the hood, not much.  The engine has had a valve job and the brakes were replaced.  It has an electric fuel pump and a new Edelbrock carburetor.  The car is registered and runs good.  It is complete except it has some non-original parts.

My father in law’s name is Ray McGillick, and he can be contacted at (760)868-6144 for more information during the day and evening.  He does not have e-mail.  The car is located in Phelan, California (southern CA, high desert).

Must sell this very sharp Edsel, black with red roof and scallop which recently completed a professional restoration (see photos here).  76,000 original miles, new paint, new upholstery, headliner, engine rebuild, spinner wheel covers - the car's like new.  It does need a fuel pump, which shouldn't be difficult, but I need to sell her soon.  No payment plans, please.

For Sale or Trade
1959 Edsel:This was purchased by my late husband who was restoring it.  He replaced and rebuilt it mechanically and it was running when he passed.  He was in the process of repainting it so it has been stripped down.  He had sanded and primed it but that was as far as he got.  I have kept it garaged and covered as best I can but I think would need to be resanded and primed again.  I have no battery for it but I do have all the parts and hardware he removed.  I need the space in my shop so I am willing to part with it.
It will have to be trucked out.  Although he invested a lot in it, I realize that to someone else the value is not so great.  So if interested make an offer and I will consider it.  I would like to at least get the initial cost, before work was done, of the car back, which was $3000, but will consider any offer.

I live outside Locust Grove.  Please email forsale@edsel.com with "Ad 289" in the subject line.

For restoration or parts.  Missing: hood, grille (horsecollar and both front grilles), most of the pulleys and accessories (still has power steering pump and a generator), windsheild and wipers, radio, rear bumper, gas tank, spare tire, hubcaps, three out of four taillight lenses, and back up lights.  Damaged: both front fenders (rusty and dented), radiator (will not hold water), motor and trans (hasn't run since 1970), driver's side window (cracked), passenger's side front window (also cracked), rear left door (severely dented), minor dents on both passenger doors, broken left trunk hinge.  Interior is mostly intact, but needs reupholstery.
There is minor rust in the floorboards and trunk floor.  Major rust in spare tire well.  The car could be a great rat rod project or restored.  Equipped with power brakes and steering, also air conditioning (but I sold the A/C condensor, evaporator/heater core plenum box, blower motor unit, sight glass and hoses, climate control servo motor, along with the distributor cap and wires, washer bottle holder, instrument cluster, and voltage regulator.)  Originally was a Teletouch, but when I got it, it was column shift automatic.  I'm taking all the column shift stuff, so it will have a Tele-touch steering column in it's place.

The VIN says it's a 361, but the valve covers say "FORD" in big letters, so they aren't the original valve covers or maybe it's not the original motor.  Frame is in good condition.  Three out of four doors are restorable.  There is no title, but it hasn't been registered since 1970, so Broadway title can get you one for about $300.

I'm asking $500 for the whole car.  I'll take $300 without the motor or transmission, but Teletouch column installed.  It has decent tires that hold air and can be rolled around easily.

Looking for a great looking Edsel?  Well, here it is!  This is a 1959 Edsel Corsair 4-door sedan in excellent condition.  All numbers match with the Express V8 and Mile-o-matic 2-speed.  Color is Jadeglint Majestic Green and white flares.  The interior is light green and white with dark green carpet.  All seats and carpet are in perfect condition with no scratches or tears.  The gauges all work perfectly and are still in great shape.  This car even has the original radio (it doesn't work but it is there).

I recently had the transmission completely rebuilt along with the generator and carburetor.  My latest addition has been dual exhaust, which sounds great on the car.  I have looked and looked you will not find another car like this in this kind of condition.  I just recently purchased another classic and have no room for it in the garage.

I am the third owner.  Car originally came out of Arizona.  Current location is Evans, GA.  Title in hand.  Additional pics available.

This is a great combination of properly maintained and refurbished-as-necessary original.  It has 93,000 miles.  The wagon was professionally repainted 10 years ago, done to high quality standard.  No overspray anywhere.  The chrome is in excellent condition.  All stainless steel was polished.  The rear bumper has been rechromed, along with the piece under the real tailgate.  The front grill pickle was hand-painted to the correct color.

The interior is in excellent condition.  The original ribbed headliner is perfect.  All three seats are original material and look outstanding.  The first two rows of seats still have the vintage plastic coverings.  The original red and black rubber floor mat is there as well.  All the stainless and chrome piece of the dash are beautiful.  The door panels are original and windlace was replaced.

The engine compartment was detailed for show.  This wagon is powered by the 361 engine.  No power steering, no power brakes.  3-speed manual transmission (3 on the tree).  Previous owner at 89000 miles rebuilt the engine in 2003.  All engine related parts were rebuilt, including the generator, water pump, carb. New plugs, wires, hoses belts, etc.  The exhaust in a dual system with mild glass packs that sound great.  The Villager rides on new tires with polished American mags.  The rear differential has new fluids and was resealed.  The brakes have been completely redone.

There is a nice set of gauges installed under the dash for oil, water, and volts.  A tach was also installed on the steering column.  These really give a nice nostalgic appearance.  The audio system is a top of the line Custom Auto Sound system.  No cutting of the dash for this install.  All windows were tinted, primarily for looks but also to protect the original interior.

The wagon drives really well, handles very well and is blast to drive and show.  Right now the car needs nothing.  This is one of the best wagons I have owned.  However, my wife and I are ready to begin building a home and I need to raise some capital.  I will keep my 59 sedan since this was my very first Edsel.
