Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is excited to offer this iconic
1959 Edsel Ranger four door sedan for sale in our Arizona showroom.
In 1958, after nearly $250M in development costs, Ford debuted the
all-new Edsel as a new model priced between the Ford and Mercury
line-up of cars. Unfortunately, this was also a recession year and
many Americans put off buying a new car, or they didn't buy the
higher priced models. Four sub-series appeared on showroom floors
across the country - Ranger and Pacer (Ford-based) and Corsair and
Citation (Mercury-based) plus a line of Ford-based wagons. Sales
were way below projections so Ford entered 1959 with only two
sub-series - the Ranger and the Corsair. This Ranger we have is
very typical of what the average Edsel buyer was purchasing for
reliable transportation. A four door sedan with a 292 V8, a three
speed manual transmission (automatics were available),and power
steering. a modern AM-FM radio looks original and brings a '50s
vibe to the dash layout. Many options that were available were not
ordered for this beautiful survivor car. Painted a beautiful shade
of blue with a white top and moulding inserts, this car really is
cool. The interior has been reupholstered in blue cloth and is a
full-sized car in every sense of the word. When you clean this car
up, you'd better have plenty of chrome polish and whitewall tire
cleaner for the new Coker radials! It runs well, shifts well, and
looks awesome! Since it's been here, people have asked what it is
and most guess it's a Buick or Oldsmobile. Buy this Edsel and
you'll probably be the only one at any show. Dare to be different,
yet every mechanical part is easily found because they're all the
same as Ford! Let's put this car in your home. Own a tangible piece
of automotive history and purchase this 1959 Edsel Ranger for sale
right now in our facility. For more information or to schedule an
appointment to view this car in person, please call the Scottsdale
