Peter S 95 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I always associate this color combo with 46-48 DeSotos - a Mopar thing, I guess. Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Harwood 12,713 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Oooh, the rare double-whammy of an unsellable color on an unsellable car. Degree of difficulty: I own a pink car. Link to post Share on other sites

m-mman 415 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Would it make a difference if I told you that its not actually 'pink' rather Edsel called it "Talisman Red" . . . . 😲 1 Link to post Share on other sites

58L-Y8 2,118 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 The quintessential '50 color combination: soft pink and gray. This '59 Edsel should be in the driveway of a Mid-Century Modern style house in the same color combination. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Hudsy Wudsy 677 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) One thing we can all be sure of, this color combination isn't going to come back into style anytime soon. What do you guys imagine the symbols are on the trunk lid mounted dealer name plate? I believe that the one on the right might be Mercury, the winged messenger. The one on the left has me puzzled, though. Any thoughts? Edited September 16, 2020 by Hudsy Wudsy (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites

Rather than Winged messenger, the right side appears to be a caricature of a Native American with his feathered headdress laid back, and the one on the left side of the dealer's name appears to be a canoe and possibly some sort of shield beyond it Link to post Share on other sites

Dan O 83 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 That's a nice original car in classic colors but it's still a loser on so many levels. I had 1 '58 4-door Citation many years ago. Black and silver. Folks would say, oh, so that's an Edsel! So cool. I bet it's worth a lot of money." To which I'd say, " Yes, it is! Wanna buy it?". Took a long time to sell but it went to New Zealand. Link to post Share on other sites
