1958 Edsel Citation four door hardtop

Up for your consideration is my 1958 Edsel Citation four door hardtop in teal/white with tri tone teal/turquoise/white interior. I have owned this car for two and a half years and put less than 600 miles on it since then. Odometer shows mileage of 61. 89. but I have no way to verify that reading. During my ownership I have done the following: replaced front and rear wheel cylinders. aster cylinder. ll three brake hoses. Installed new rear shocks. hanged rear axle pinion seal and fluid.  major tune including points. ap. otor plugs and wires. tc.  I also changed all belts and hoses. lushed out the power steering fluid. ad the starter rebuilt. changed the oil twice. both times adding ZDDP . Installed color matching seat belts front and rear. Installed new valve cover gaskets. Cars runs well with no funny noises from the engine . oes not run hot or smoke. Brakes work well . ires are WWW with low miles on them. Teletouch selector for transmission works great and blows people's mind when they see it! and the trans shifts fine. The car is originally from N Carolina as can be seen by the windshield sticker and the original dealer key fob. (see pics). My best guess is the car received a cosmetic restoration 10 or so years ago. Whats good:floors are solid. hassis is solid. Glass is all good. indows all roll up and down. ith slight delamination on the open ends of the vent (wing) windows. Interior looks great. ight down to the asymmetrical seat pattern unique to Edsel. Headliner . oor panels and dash are very nice. Lights work. as gauge works. peedometer and odometer work. orn works. eater/blower work. ipers work slowly as the are vacuum powered . All stainless is very nice. Paint has a nice shine to it. but there are some scrapes/scratches/chips in the lower part of the teal as can be seen in the pictures. The not as good: paint scrapes as mentioned . ome very  small paint bubbles at the pass rear door edge and the drivers side front edge of the hood. The car needs the control arm bushings replaced since they appear to be the original and the rubber is worn out. This is a standard suspension part and not unique to his car. Inside courtesy lights at the end of the dash board need new lenses. but I believe reproductions are available. Radio not hooked up . but it is the original unit. Chrome is fair some pits in tail light lens surrounds . If you are looking for a 100 point show car. this is not it! If you are looking for a unique 50's land yacht that doesn't need too much give it a look. Car comes with some service manuals. some extra parts such as wheel cover. ew fuel pump. gnition coil. xtra trim pieces. The car presents itself nicely. nd always turns heads at local cruise nights Reserve is set low. its time to thin the herd. If you are serious about the car. all me at 516 633 0868 afternoon EST .  $500 deposit from paypal due within 48 hours. Remainder of funds due within 7 days. Car is located in Massapequa Long Island NY 11758. Thanks Dave
