Saw this sitting in a repair shop a long time ago and it's never moved, so I doubt it's in for renovation. Be interesting to know the history behind it.

Edsel........

Well, it does say it right there on the grill, so no prizes.

Nope, I didn't ask, just said a rare beast in Pattaya and would like to know it's history. Like how did it end up in Pattaya, who was the original owner etc.

Good luck with that............

Looks like the original colour too...

 

Don't know but looks like a '58....

 

probably waiting for a Toyota turbo diesel engine to be fitted.

Must have had massive suspension upgrade to stop scratching the door handles on cornering.

Shame no sound track to go with the photos.

We can do that stuff....

I saw a beautiful black Lincoln Continental, forget the year but the best looking classic, coming out of a parking garage on Suk yesterday, Was wondering how well the Yank Tanks can maneuver on Thai roads. Sucks up a lot of gas too. But many people stopped to stare and to see who the people in the car were.

 

If you like attention, buy the Edsel and have it restored.

If that Edsel was a station wagon or a convertible it would still have some monetary value. I'm surprised that the grill in the OP has not been requisitioned to enhance someone's tractor. I never quite liked them but I must say the grunting one pictured above does change my mind.

Nah, the front looks like a dame's undercarriage.  (Which I find appealing in a dame, but less so in a car).

I think that was one of the things that brought about their demise.

A Corvette is close to an Edsel? Don't see it.Sure it's not just a way of hijacking the post?

My personal opinion for what it is worth it is a 1958 year old for old farts back seat love nest  from that era who want to relive some of their romantic fantasies. The windows are all covered with dust so nobody can peek in. If your bones will allow you to attain the love position of way back then your good to good. Maybe the rental fee is $50 an hour similar to a love motel.

Another ageist hatemonger. Your opinion is worth nothing.

Another old fart whose sense of humor died ages ago. Mores the pity. You need a humor shot in the worst way.

What I'm rebuilding has full reclining seats and I may change the centre arm rest to get an overall same level.
