This rare and beautiful 1959 Edsel Ranger 2 Door Hardtop was purchased new in Richmond, VA at Meyer Edsel (building still standing today). The car has always been garaged and cared for since. A bit later in the car’s life, it was owned by a wonderful gentleman in the Edsel Club who enjoyed driving it to car shows where the car won many trophies/awards. That gentleman passed on about 8 years ago. We acquired the car from his son, who was keeping it in a storage unit the last couple of years, wasn’t driving it as much as the car deserved, and therefore made the decision it was time to re-home it to a good Edsel home.
This is an all numbers matching car with the original colors of Redwood Metallic and Desert Tan. The car has some great options and accessories. The 361ci “Super Express” V8 (303 HP) engine with the three speed “Dual Power” automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, driver spotlight, Town & Country Radio, day and night mirror, spinner hubcaps, inside trunk release handle, electric wipers, back-up lights, a traffic light viewer, and a very cool set of cruiser skirts.
The odometer says 26,326 miles, but it shows as ‘exempt’ on the title. I believe the car was re-painted in the past, but that the interior/upholstery could be factory original. There are some nit-picky scratches and flaws, most of which most have been touched up here and there, but it’s a great looking and solid car overall! The car has been driven semi-regularly as of late and some maintenance has been done in the last couple of years to ensure reliable cruising. The original A/C will need some TLC to work again. I was told it hasn’t worked in years, I don’t know what it needs, but the compressor is still running on the belt (it’s a great conversation piece as is). The radio makes sounds like a UFO after it warms up and turns on, but I cannot get any stations here. It has an older AM/FM cassette in the glove box, but I am not sure how to turn it on or if it works. All lights and gauges work with the exception of the gas gauge. Runs and drives very well. Makes great power. No weird issues or noises to report and no leaks. No rattles and the car drives and stops straight. Glass is in great condition, windows are tight, and roll up and down easily. Doors shut exceptionally well with a nice THUD. Engine compartment and trunk are nice and tidy looking for display. Under the car looks great also. Comes with the original owners manual and folder, a copy of the original invoice, and a nice car cover. And check out those MATCHING CHAIRS!!
