Notes:
I joined the International Edsel Club in 1991 and set my sights on a 59 wagon. I found
it in Old Car Trader Magazine, Ford Edition, Oct, '92. It had been part of a collection
of The Pate Foundation in Cleburne (Ft. Worth), Texas. I am the second owner, the
Pates themselves bought the car new, probably from Lone Star Edsel. Parked in 1966.
