1958 Edsel Roundup

Edsels are sought-after today because they are distinct and rare. In fact, this Roundup Station Wagon may just be one of the most desirable ones you\'re going to find. After all, two-door wagons are one of the coolest classics around, and because of Edsel\'s falter, this inaugural year car was also the only year the model was offered. There were less than 1000 ever made! Oh yes, they made more Thunderbirds in two weeks of 1958 than Ford produced Edsel Roundups in total! It\'s the recognition of this level of absolute rarity that has made sure this car has received good care over the decades. There was a later respray of the red with white accents. This two-tone is intricate work as the creamy white draws extra attention to the distinct and sweeping side trim. It even appears that all the major brightwork on the wagon is complete. That means the two-piece front bumpers, intricate side mirrors, and absolutely retro-cool tailfin treatment. So this one has a solid presentation that goes well beyond the famous horse collar grille. The interior continues the two-tone treatment, but what you\'ll really like are the cruiser upgrades. After all, everything from a tilt column to an AM/FM/CD stereo makes this much nicer to enjoy the drive. And speaking of driving, the V8 has the right power to let you enjoy the highways. So while we\'ve told you the rarity and given you the highlights, it\'s time to really take a closer look and see what this seldom-seen Roundup is all about.
