My dad had a '58 Edsel Bermuda station wagon. Salmon pink with fake wood side panels. The floating speedometer and the steering-wheel shift buttons had quit working by the time I started learning to drive it in about '63. Dad installed a floor shifter. We just guessed at the speed. Thanks for the memories.
"Teeny tiny bit of bubbling" While a small amount of bubbling is better than a large amount, most people don't realize that this kind of rust where bubbling occurs is from the inside out.
The teletouch transmission was a major headache as it quickly gained a reputation for being unreliable resulting in Ford dropping it after one year. I would always be concerned about that whenever taking this car out for a Sunday drive. Beautiful car regardless!
I wonder how much this sold for, given the rarity of the Bermuda....which, by the way, is my favorite and the best (and the only wood-paneled) Edsel station wagon of them all! :)
Hello. I try to reconstruct the 3D model from your video. Please say me which camera you did use to shoot this video. (i need focal length and etc). Thanks.
Mark Muffs Actually, the first popular minivans sold in America were the first generation (pre-1968) split windshield VW microbuses, which gained notoriety when hippies painted them groovy and psychedelic like. But the first popular minivans made in America were sold by Chrysler Corporation in 1984. They were the Plymouth Voyager, the Dodge Caravan, and the Chrysler Town & Country minivan's.
Lose one of those unique hubcaps and they would be impossible to find.A minor collision could damage Irreplaceable parts. I would be afraid to drive on the streets for that reason!
Ugly colors, but that dome speedo and push button transmission is really cool! I have to admit this car is really charming in spite of my mild revulsion over the weird color scheme.
I just did some research. In 1958, the Ranger and Pacer used a 361 CID V8. The Corsair and Citation used a 410 CID V8 that developed 475 pd. ft. of torque which is why you are thinking the largest engine was a 472. In 1959, I believe the largest engine offered was the 361. Ford also made the 240 CID in line six available as well as the 292 and 332 used in the Fairlane & Galaxie. In 1960, Edsel engines matched Ford offerings, the 6, the 292, 332 & 352.
