Edsel number
700285 manufactured in Los Angeles, CA on September 3, 1957
Owner:
Salvage yard
The car has the less often seen two-tone paint combination of a monotone body with
a contrasting color top. The body and the scallop are copper metallic, the roof is
white. The car is a rust free California car that may have spent its entire life
in the east San Gabriel Valley and Inland Empire areas of Southern California. It
had a Gomer Jones Edsel (a Pomona California Edsel dealer) licence plate frame on
the floor in the cab. The oil pan is off and the crankshaft is rusty, so the car
may have been parked years ago due to an engine failure. It has an aftermarket
upper cylinder lubrication oiler system.
