1959 Edsel Corsair Convertible
Equipped with the 332 Express V8 and Mile O Matic 2 speed Auto Transmission
Original colors are President Red exterior , Black and Red interior , Black Top
Only 1, 343 1959 Edsel convertibles were built according to the Edsel registry and
you don't see many for sale as most are in hands of private collectors
According to eBay's completed listings there has not been an Edsel Convertible for sale
since late 2014 and only a few are available nationwide
This Edsel runs and drives good for it's age and the fact that it has not ever been a total restoration but certainly is a worthy candidate
It has been repainted at some point in it's past . .I think that the interior upholstery may be
original
The body does have it's issues with some bubbling of the paint in the lower body panels and there
is some rust at the front of both inner rocker panels...The floor pans look good and solid and are the original floors ...the quarters have been repaired in the past also and there is some rust in the inner quarter drop off panels where they meet the bottom of the quarters
The interior is presentable but the front seat on the driver's side has 3 seams separating
The paint is driver quality at best and still looks good from a short distance but upon close inspection you can see the blemishes
The bumpers have very good chrome and some of the other chrome is showing pitting
The convertible top is in good condition and is power assisted and it operates properly
The engine was removed in 1990 and rebuilt ...it does run well and starts easily , has an exhaust manifold gasket leak on the lh side and you can hear the leak
The original VIN/data tag is still on the vehicle
I believe this is an honest and accurate description and I invite you to have a look prior to
making your purchase
The values on these models have been slowly but steadily increasing as the desirability of
the unusual Edsel marque is becoming more popular. .many Edsel owners and collectors have
more than one Edsel in their collection
