restoration in original Turquoise color schemePower steering and

Few of the 1960 Edsels were more beautiful than the hardtop coupe,
which was distinguished by a dramatic, sloping roofline with very
narrow windshield pillows; indeed, the roofline appears to be
virtually floating above the car, giving the Ranger a sporty and
almost dreamy appearance. As with all 1960 models, these were
extraordinarily rare immediately, off the dealer floor; just 295
hardtop coupes were made. The Shrine of the Holy Grille's example
wears an older restoration in Turquoise with a correct Silver vinyl
and Black "pebble grain" cloth interior, and has the 195-hp Ranger
292 V-8, power steering, rear fender skirts, and very rare factory
air conditioning. It is undoubtedly among the most beautiful idols
of the Shrine.To view this car and others currently consigned to
this auction, please visit the RM website at
