PIC: I always enjoy this kind of find,

A 58 Edsel Ranger with 21K. Great original condition. It is missing the hood ornament and some of the chrome trim in the taillight lens. I made new trim out of bright metal and it won't fall out as the plastic did. I have made several orders for the club members.

It's rare to see a monochrome paint job.

Or the dog dish hubcaps. This is obviously a very low-optioned example of the least expensive....

...model and beautifully preserved.

Yes the Ranger was the lowest model for 58 and it shared everything with Ford as did the Pacer. The column shift automatic was more popular in the Ranger models as was the radio delete and rubber floor mats. The next model up was the Pacer and most had carpets and radios and the TeleTouch transmission controls in the steering wheel.
