It's interesting to see an Edsel Wagon with the taillights of the sedan. It actually looks nicer that the actual taillights.
BTW Where did you get the roof you used? how about the taillights on the wagon? Are they self crafted?

Tom, I bought another 58 Edsel HT,
I use it as a donor car. I cut both tops and grafted them together . I added the raised side's of the top same as the Mercury and it makes a good paint line for the yellow. Back side windows are curved at the rear like the Merc and will be installed last. The taillights are the longer inner taillights with the curve to them just placed verticle but they are the Edsel lights. I used the 57/58 Mercury 2 DR HT wagon as a guide for the project.
I have done some trim changes from the Merc like chrome around the back windows and a wider tailgate just to make it more Edsel like.
Thanks for your comment. It should be finished soon.
