Peter Gariepy Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 So, do you think this would be considered factory or deal installed options? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capngrog Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 That looks to be factory-installed to me: Caterpillar factory, that is. I didn't realize that Ford had sent all of its unsold 4 door Edsels to the Caterpillar factory for conversion into urban tractors, complete with back ho. I'm impressed that it was also painted in Caterpillar yellow. According to Fauxpedia, all but one of these magnificent machines were exported to the Kamchatka Peninsula, where they were used in snow removal operations ... or sumthin'. A rare survivor indeed!

CarlLaFong Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 And someone had to go and over restore it with whitewalls. Philistines!! I bet it has a tissue dispenser and an umbrella holder, also. Hmmmph!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I doubt the Umbrella holder but I would lay money on a Hiway Hi Fi under the Dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Looks like the dog didn't know which way that Ford was going either. I'm imaging him dashing back and forth in the road like a squirrel before they hit him. Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Walling Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 The reason that it is co clean is that like the Edsel, the bucket and hoe didn't work after 50 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digger914 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Astounding. I never realized that the Edsel was such a versatile vehicle, but the four door tractor was way ahead of it's time and I can understand why it didn't sell. The two fronted Ford is a bit of a puzzlement. With all the people that don't know if they are coming or going, I have to wonder why this most appropriate model isn't in full production by all the auto manufacturers.

Dave Mellor NJ Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 If I had to guess I'd say the left side is the front If it was the back you'd see a tailpipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
