Body work's a fucking bitch, and judging from that pic you're gonna have to do a ton of it. It looks rusted to hell. My advice is don't even try.

All of these luxuries came at a price and with a sag in the economy of the US, not many wanted to put up the cash for it. Plus many people did not like all the new features. People found them complicated and frustrating to get used to. This was one of the few cases that a car was too advance for its own good. After 3 years of production, Ford ended the Edsel line of cars.
Notable things about my car.
Total Production: 5,687
Original Base Price: $2,971.00
Engine: Express V8
Maximum hp: 225 @ 4000 rpm
Maximum torque: 325 ft-lb @ 2200 rpm
No, not quite. Though there was a ambulance package that people could get on the villager, there was never an official run on it. Plus the ghostbuster car, though you got the year right, was a 1959 Cadillac. If you look, the grill is different and the Cadillac has a larger fin and is a few feet longer. BUT, the edsel would be easier to get insurance on. I'm not a 100% sure, but I don't think you can get official ambulances insured.Quote:

Don't forget the police beacons and annoying horn in your restoration.Quote:

Really, I could have sworn that the ecto was always an edsel...
The very old car riding is good entertainment. The old car like king riding. The old car a very careful because of their parts are not available in the market.
If only there were a warehouse one could order parts from and I could get a coupon for said warehouse.
As long as it offers replacement parts for king riding.
That would be most GOOD ENTERTAINMENT.
That spam wasn't even intelligent. What the hell was the point? And I always thought that old threads from a certain age were locked.
And geez, while we're at it...did you ever manage to fix up that car IP?
