International Edsel Club Blog http://internationaledsel.com/blog A remarkable new automobile joins the Ford family of fine cars Thu, 26 May 2011 01:03:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 en 1958 EDSEL CITATION 4 DOOR HARDTOP ** SOLD! ** http://internationaledsel.com/blog/?p=229 http://internationaledsel.com/blog/?p=229#comments Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:56:22 +0000 jeff http://internationaledsel.com/blog/?p=229 **** SOLD! *****
This is one of the nicest ‘58 Citations still around.  Nearly all original, it has only 36,500 miles on it.  To the best of my knowledge, the only thing that has been replaced (other than normal wear and tear items) is the padded dash (one year ago).   All of the sheet metal is straight, with no rust at all. The underside had been undercoated at some point, so it is also as solid as when it was new.  All of the glass is great. The interior still has plastic seat covers that have probably been on the car for over 50 years.  The trunk is likewise solid and clean.  The AM radio works, as does the tach and fuel gauge. This unit has the Teletouch automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and many other miscellaneous options.  Many more photos are available.  Asking $13,900.  Call or email Doug @ 402-721-1008, or dhartmann@neb.rr.com.
