Ford Edsel Ranger. Ford stopped making Edsel's in November of 1959. They only made 2,846 units. This one was built on October 7, 1959 and is number 1,562. This vehicle has 86,000 miles on it.

Enjoy!

Once voted the "ugliest rear" of any car ever built! Not many 1960's still running anymore.

Thanks for viewing and commenting Bill. I just post images of a 1958 model Edsel. Shows a little different rear.

That year was one of the best designs. One of the major problems with these cars was the transmission. They could not handle the engine's power.

The front end didn't win any prizes for beauty either. And other than appearance it wasn't a bad car. I Like seeing old American metal again.

My Dad had never bought a new car. He bought a 58 Edsel Ranger when they first came out. It was a dog with engine issues. Poor ol Dad did not buy another new car till he bought a new Chevy Vega.... yep another dog.

Nice shots. I liked the style, and never understood why it didn’t sell. I didn’t know about the engine problems.

I remember spotting a few of these back in the day, but it was a pretty rare beast even then. Thanks for sharing with us. Nice work!
