Vehicle Description
The 1958 Edsel Pacer convertible is for true classic car lovers.
After all, it launched this now legendary nameplate, and an example
like this has true coordinating style inside and out.
When you want rarity and distinction this is the exact place to
start. This is the first year for the Edsel name, and convertibles
are traditionally some of the most expensive versions out there. As
a result, you're looking at one of only about 2,800 Pacer/Citation
convertibles produced in the inaugural year. Each year was
distinctive in the Edsel's sort run, and the '58 was the most
extravagant of them all. They dared to be different with the
grille, and that unique piece set off a flood of styling elements
like the contoured hood and gleaming dual front bumpers. And the
side trim is like true artwork. There's a beautiful line that
starts behind the dual headlights and almost seamlessly runs
through the doors. Plus, the it took a true stylist to dream up the
rear piece that corrals the tailfin as it continues around the rear
and creates a well-defined separation of the colors. And speaking
of the paint, this one has an amazing style presence as the Coral
Sand is nicely complemented by the creamy white that encircles the
rear. And with white factory hubcaps, wide whitewall tires, and a
clean white convertible top, this has the kind of two-tone
presentation you'll love showing off.
A classic droptop like this is all about a great coordinating
interior that you share with the world. So you can tell there was
plenty of time and money spent making sure the colors inside and
outside would look great together. Legroom is expansive, so it's
the perfect classic for those who want to look authentic while
carrying around family and friends. You'll slip behind the factory
wheel and gaze at gauges that were clearly inspired by the jet age.
This one really has a great period-correct presentation, right down
to the AM radio that's still on display.
This is a W-code Edsel, which means the correct 361 cubic-inch V8
is under the hood. Not only is this believed to be the original
motor, but also most people will assume it is correct just by the
presentation. Those who know Edsels expect to see what's in this
engine bay, including a yellow block, white air topper, and
matching valve covers stamped with E-400 (the motor's torque
rating.) There's even a Holley four-barrel carburetor on top. This
V8 is a great powerhouse to move this convertible with ease. So
it's a great cruiser thanks to features like the three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, and aluminum radiator
helping to keep it running cool.
Rare, distinct, and premium - an Edsel is now one of the most
interesting pieces of automotive history to possess today. So don't
miss out, call today!
