Hi thanks but not looking far a project car, and I have an identical car to yours that is a nice original unrestored car. Hank

Still looking for an Edsel to add to my 13 Edsel collection. Preference, 1960 Villager or 60 Ranger 4 door hard top w/ deluxe interior or 58 Citation with speed warning option and other desirable factory options. Would consider any Edsel in original UN restored condition with documented history or unique story. NO RUST BUCKETS, prefer running driving car. Original numbers matching cars only. Older restoration okay, prefer original paint cars. Price according to condition, car, and documented past. Our search has went on for nearly two years with sellers backing out after agreeing to sell, as well as a number of other issues. If you think you have one of these cars that meet our criteria please call Hank at 419-569-3361 or email at backalleypedalcars@yahoo.com. Thank you. Long time AACA member, IEC and EOC member as well.

Still searching for a 1960 Edsel station wagon. Car needs to be running and please no rusty projects. Price according to condition. Don't mind a little work. Contact Hank in Ohio 419-569-3361.

Hi Tom, that was very rare but not as unusual as you might think. Edsel did some red and black exterior colors and turquoise and white interiors. I also saw pictures of a Bermuda wagon with simulated cow hyde interior. Jonquil yellow and gray exterior Pacer convertible with red and white interior. The 50's were fun and with few boundaries. Hank

Hi, I am an Edsel owner a member of both the International Edsel club and Edsel owners club, and an AACA member. Edsel's are a very rare car as only 118,000 were built over three model years. The number of cars that remain road worthy today are probably fewer than 10k. If you are are going to show your car at Edsel meets, these guys will pick up very quickly on the paint if it's not correct, and it will cost you show points. The Edsel people are a great group of folks who can look at a data plate tag and recite what every letter and digit represents in triplicate, without referring to a book. Tri color Edsel's are rare on small series, but less rare on Corsairs and Citations. With that being said, it's your car. The first person you need to make happy is yourself. As an Edsel enthusiast I have one Edsel that was all white from the factory. I painted the roof and cove red and it looks much better... But it's not original. I just had a buddy sell his 58 Edsel Pacer press car on eBay and it sold for $28,500. It was repainted the wrong shade of green and it probably cost him at least 10- 12k maybe more. Paint work is expensive so make sure you understand what is important to you before pull the paint gun trigger. Hope this helps. Hank Davis

The original Edsel Roundup in the HPOF class is mine. We have 13 Edsel's, 9 58's, 3 59's and 1 1960. We love them all. I collect all things Edsel and very rarely do I sell anything. My favorites are the 58's but the 1960 models are the rarest based on numbers alone. Only 2800 1960's were built. The cars I am looking for to add to my collection are cars with specific history, features etc. The 59 Edsel does have a little of the middle child syndrome but are very nice cars. I just prefer the other two years. My business website is gotocarguys.com. When you get there click on Hank's Garage. Hank

Very nice 1966 Chevy stepside. 355 V8, Automatic, power steering, power front disc brakes. 6 year old restoration, gorgeous driver. $29,900.

Interested in Edsel's with unique history, original unrestored cars preferred. Low serial numbers, unusual factory features. The more documented history the better. 1960 Villager Wagon, 1960 4 door hard top(no post). 1958 Roundup, Roundup service car, press cars, famous owner cars. 58 Citation with lots of equipment, 2 or 4 door. No 59 models. Also any Edsel advertising, signs, cans, toys etc. Edsel dealership info especially R J Edsel Inc. Contact Hank Davis 419-569-3361 or email backalleypedalcars@yahoo.com 4/21/18 Still looking, a couple of almost's. 5/31/18 Still looking, I would pay a finders fee for the right car. 6/20/2018 Still looking for the right car, have had little responce

Thank you, A labor of automotive passion, especially for the Edsel, but we like them all.

A great way to show the Edsel Collectables

Looking for a 1960 Edsel Villager 9 passenger wagon. I don't mind a project, but no rusted out junk. I want a complete car, not someone else's project in a million pieces with half of them missing.No million dollar show cars either. You can email me at hank@gotocarguys.com. or Call me at 419-569-3361. Thank you, Hank Davis Bucyrus, Ohio /member AACA, Edsel Owners Club, and International Edsel Club

Yes and would you believe my wife is a nurse at the hospital. It doesn't get much better than that!!!

Hey, It warmed up!

thanks, we like her

Indeed they are. This car sat in a woods for 21 years until last spring when I got it out and brought it to my shop. It serves as an advertisement for my Edsel collection. It's a 58 Pacer 4 door sedan. Two tone spruce and ice green. Teletouch, radio, backup lights and spinner hubcaps. Car is actually complete. Hank

This Edsel is waiting for warmer days.

Neat car, congrats. Love Edsel's. The 59 is fairly easy to find parts for. Enjoy !!!

Your car must first have that option and most did not. Just above the steering column on the dash there would have been a dial to preset the speed at which the light would come on. Most cars have a chrome button there with an "E" on it as decoration. This was a 58 option only and again a pretty rare option at that. Hank

I turned 60 this year and attended my 21st consecutive Hershey meet. In the last 10 years my wife and I have had to over come a lot of health issues both big and small to continue our string of visits. This still is the most wonderful automotive event in the world in our opinion. I have read all the comments about parking, attendance, vendors and the effect that both time and the internet have made on our hobby. I can tell you eBay is a poor source for buying and selling anything, and I have done both. There is nothing like seeing it, touching it, smelling it and negotiating on it face to face. The food in Hershey is wonderful and yes expensive, but folks who own 50 and 60 thousand dollar cars should not complain about the cost of eating out, there is always McDonalds. We come to Hershey to see our friends, some that we only see once a year. It is about the experience, which is the only thing we take to the grave. We as hobbiest have done such a poor job of getting young people involved and have priced it right out of there budget. Want to help Hershey and our hobby grow, get your kids, and grandkids involved. Maybe re evaluate letting in customs and hot rods. We are getting older, so while we can, give back to the hobby instead of pissing and moaning about shoppers not wanting to spend $5000 on a $300 sign and weather or not a vendor parks in a space he paid for. Thank you for allowing me to express my opinion.

I AM YOUR HIGH BIDDER, HANK

here is a picture of mine, I purchased it at Mecum Harrisburg 3 years ago, Hank

Hi, I think your car is spring green, I also have a spring green and white Villager wagon. Oddly enough, mine also has an automatic transmission with the shifter on the column, which is very rare. We may own the only 2 Villagers out there equipped this way. Less than 1% of all 58 Edsel's had the automatic shifter on the column and that option was discontinued in December 1957. Congrats, your car is gorgeous. Harold Hank Davis

Thanks Gary, I re-posted under Edsel. Hank

Hi, looking for a nice set of Edsel dog dish hubcaps thanks, Harold 419-569-3361
