Best of Show at the Edsel Club.
Recipient of the Ford Motor Company Award.
The body is absolutely dead straight.  This car was completely disassembled from the ground up and reassembled using many N.O.S. Edsel parts.  The car has been driven about 150 miles since the restoration has been completed about 2 years ago.

Every mechanical component of this car has been rebuilt - engine, transmission, brakes, exhaust, etc.  Correct FoMoCo markings on all glass including the windshield, correct threshold plates.  The entire interior has been perfectly restored with the correct materials, by hand, right down to the Edsel rubber insert in the front carpet by the driver's foot.  The convertible well even has the drain that was there in the original car.  Correct trunk mat and correct jack.  The undercarriage has been detailed.  Every piece of chrome has been rechromed, every piece of stainless has been polished.  New rubber seals have been used in every part of this car.  And it runs and drives as beautifully as it looks.

Probably the finest Pacer convertible in the country.
