Normal 0 This car has had much cosmetic and mechanical restoration and lots of detailing. The seat covers, door panels and visors are original. Everything else is new or restored with correct Edsel parts and material. The paint is two-stage polyurethane and is show quality. The front and rear bumpers have been re-plated and have a lifetime warranty from Superior Chrome in Houston Texas. The 361 FE engine has been completely rebuilt and runs perfectly. There are new brakes and new tires all around. There is a new aluminized exhaust system installed with stock type mufflers. There are many new items such a fuel tank, trunk mat, electric fuel pump, Pertronics ignition, rear shocks and many other new and restored parts. I have only put about 250 miles on the car since it was completed but it drives perfectly and is nice and tight for a convertible. The underside of the car is not show detailed but fairly clean, only areas that show are detailed. The transmission is a 3 speed Cruise-a-matic style. There are some very rare accessories on the car such as factory correct ribbed dual spotlights, not the smooth sided Ford type. It has the one-knob vacuum controlled heat and ventilation controls – a rare item. It has color-keyed spinner hubcaps. There is the original factory continental kit that swings up and over, not an after-market kit. There is a rear deck antenna and new Edsel floor mats. There are probably less than 50 of these 1959 Edsel Corsair convertibles left and this is one of the nicer ones. This car really should be put in a museum where it can be preserved because there just aren’t that many left. The only mechanical problems are that the radio is very weak, the clock works sometimes, and the transmission front seal leaks a bit. The seal was replaced when the engine was out but for some reason leaks a little. The battery in the photos is not the one that goes with the car. The original type battery that is shown in the pictures went bad and has been replaced with a generic aftermarket battery.
