The edsel ranger shares that dramatic roofline with perennial favorite, the ford starliner, and on the slightly different edsel platform it looks amazing. The jokes end here, because this car looks fantastic. The thoroughly modern grille has wonderful ornamentation, ranging from the parking lights at the outer edges to the bombsight ornaments atop the fenders, and that strip of chrome stretching all the way back to the fins is just brilliant. Finish quality is pretty good, although the build is a few years old so there are signs of use; a quick professional buff would really take it up a notch. The irreplaceable chrome and stainless trim is all there and in excellent condition, and those taillights are truly spectacular. Get ready for a lot of double-takes when people see this car rolling into a show. The interior features new upholstery that appears to be directly out of the 1960s, featuring a funky pattern that looks great on the bucket seats. A center console is a rare find on an edsel and somehow the lokar shifter looks like it was born there. A tilt column, period under-dash a/c (ice cold!), and a great looking dashboard all make this a very pleasing place to spend some time. Power comes from a vintage 427 cubic inch v8 and it's obviously a neat fit in the edsel's engine bay, almost as if the engineers expected it to live there someday. Corporate turquoise engine enamel and a factory air cleaner make it look very correct, and it's augmented with a big holley carb, upgraded am, and an aluminum radiator to keep things cool on warm days. They actually worked pretty hard to keep it looking right, including the expansion tank up top, original cast iron exhaust manifolds, and a factory a/c unit that dominates the top of the engine bay. A new flowmaster exhaust system sounds great and uses accessory chrome exhaust tips for just the right look. Those big wheels really fill the fenders and wear low-profile redline radials that really nail the look. Bucket Seats✔ Air Conditioning
