I bought one like this about two years ago on our auction site. I still don't know I missed this one when it came out in this outstanding color. Nice pictures John.

In one tv commercial, the 1958 Edsel convertible was declared "the most beautiful car in the world."  Uh, ok.

Tough times for FoMoCo in those days. The'58 Ford was a sales disaster and then came the Edsel.

I actually like the 58 Ford BUT how the gorgeous 57 morphed into that design is beyond me!  It's amazing how very different the Ford designs were each year 56 thru 61.
