The last Edsel convertible of 1960 essentially was barely built at all. Just 76 were made, and genuine survivors have long been considered the Holy Grail to Edsel enthusiasts, who seek them all over the world. Naturally one eventually joined The Shrine of the Holy Grille, where it has been lovingly preserved as the centerpiece among its brethren. The car’s history is known back to 1968, including former owners in Tennessee and Illinois. An older cosmetic restoration in the lovely Regal Red, its interior has been reupholstered in Red and Silver vinyl, but retains the impossible-to-duplicate original embossed door panels. The car was even born with the most powerful 352-cu. in. Express V-8, packing a full 300 hp, which remains under the hood today. The result is an Edsel of peerless rarity, that will immediately establish its new owner in the forefront of enthusiasts of this distinctively different motor car.
