1959 Edsel Ranger Coupe 292 V8 3 Speed Manual Classic Vintage Collector

1959 Edsel Ranger -- Description

This 1959 Edsel Ranger is true rolling history and instant distinction. So when something this complete is also so obtainable, you know it's time to pay attention. We all love a cool '50s classic with intricate bright work, and the Edsel seems to really do it best. Over half a century has passed, so what was once considered a misstep by Ford is now a rare sight with some very intricate styling. The hood had to be specially... formed to facilitate the now-legendary grille; there's an aggressive dipping "V" in the full-length trim; and the trunk is an intricate stamping that looks like two tailfins turned inward their side. This style is always respected because it has rarity. This two-door Ranger sedan (model 64C) is only one of 7,778 produced in '59 - and you can already imagine how few have survived today to look this complete. After all, just look at the details. This one follows a great red with white theme, right down to the factory wheel covers with whitewalls. The interior retains its 1950's style cool. A great pattern on the original-style black and silver vinyl looks fantastic against all the bright trim elements. This has all the best classic elements, like the artful steering wheel (with correct "E" logo,) wraparound dash, and even the AM radio still works! The two-door sedan provides plenty of room to spread out over both rows. So this is the perfect classic for those who want to look authentic while carrying around family and friends. Under the hood is the correct 292 cubic-inch V8 for this C-code car. The turquoise block, intake, valve covers, and air topper have a bright look against the gloss black engine bay. So this is another piece of distinction that goes well beyond the Edsel name. The Y-block V8 is a strong motor that has given a solid reputation to all sorts of Fords - from Thunderbirds to F-Series pickups. That means solid V8 power and good parts availability. And you get optimal control over this motor thanks to the column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. When a car is this interesting, complete, and affordable, you know it's the ideal classic. So don't miss out, call today!
