    When i was a young one i remember seeing a black 2 door Edsel in the junk yard that had perfect sheet metal because it was in there because of a engine issue. it was the only one in the area so nothing was stripped off of it metal wise. about 1 year later it had a crushed roof from a junker on top of it and to this day i still think of that one and dream of making a hot rod from it. This video brought back this memory like i lightening bolt. if i lived near here i know i would ask if i could make one out of all of these to fill the hole in my heart for one only now i see a super charger sticking out of the hood with big fat tires and everything,,, i love it , i need it,,,,, Darn it the Highway star song from Deep Purple is playing in my head now as well.

    One of the most unique Edsel's I ever saw was in Anchorage, AK and somebody had put a off road 4 wheel drive under the body.

    Thanks for posting, I hope someone can save some of those wagons, especially that goldish green Edsel wagon that looked straight as he'll. I'm a chevy man but love all wagons no matter the make as I have 2 magnum wagons

      ​@@SawKustomzthat is awesome. I love watching these videos seeing the classics at the yards and many can be sold complete amd put back on the road, back when many were"junked" they were not worth nearly as much and sadly too many people chopped up the wagons and 4 doors for parts for their 2 doors. Camaros (mainly 3rd gem camaros) and the only 2 door cars I buy as I'm a long roof lover as well and have 3 burbans,2 magnum wagons and my mid engined 60s chevy scooby g10 van 108 besides my 91 rs camaro and 2018 malibu . Good luck fixing up the villager will be awesome. I'm trying to make a deal on a very decent 55 belair 4 door wagon, project comes with all her chrome and emblems and hasn't been molested looks wise thank God just been sitting 35 years

      @rscamarolover always said we wish we started buying wagons years ago. No one wanted them. I always loved them, and so does my wife. The edsel is hers. It will be one of the next builds on our channel. Good luck with your wagons!

    No Brasil 🇧🇷 a Vw e Fiat sempre dominou o mercado brasileiro com carros baratos,não tinha variedade de carros,todos eram simples e básicos,ja na america existem varios modelos de carros,grandes potentes e com muitos opcionais
    Carros americanos são desejados no mundo inteiro

    Wow That is a lot of Edsels. I wonder how many had factory ac and how many had the MEL engine.

    • @68gtoracer
      @68gtoracer  19 годин тому

      No factory A/C ones, although my dad did get a few of them over the years. And the MEL engine was what was in all 1958 Corsair and Citation models.

    There was a guy in Sacramento off of Florin who had a pile of Edsels, maybe 50? I went by often. and He didn't do anything to them and I could see the deterioration. Don't know what happened to them. This guy needs a loader to lift them while the mower guy cuts the grass and cleans out the foliage underneath.
