Notes:
One of the finest 1960 Edsel 4-door sedans in existence. The original bill of sale is still
with it, along with the service policy and original window sticker. This car has it's original
upholstery (and it is flawless). The rear seat has plastic
seat covers, and the material has probably never been sat upon. The car has one of the
last build dates of November 25, 1959. The chrome is basically without flaw. The
paint seems original – but there is some evidence of a ever-so-slight variation on the front
end – as compared with the front doors. You have to look hard to notice it – and you
have to look hard to find any flaws on the car. There is a burn to a part of the paint
on the right side of the hood. I’ll leave this to the next owner to decide what to do
there – it covers an area about the size of a pie pan. The radio seems to have been
deactivated and bypassed to a cassette player/radio which can easily be removed. The car
runs and drives like a new car. The padded dash has no flaws, and the headliner is
basically perfect too, as are the door panels and the package tray. It is the closest
to an off-the-floor 1960 Edsel as they come.
