A 1960 Edsel convertible made by Brooklin.

There used to be a 4 door '60 Edset in town. Only 2000 '60 Edsels in all. Brooklin really makes nice models.

NICE STUTZ...The gold trim and white wall tires really sets that Edsel convertible off!:thumbsup:

Thanks for the nice comments, Tom and Streetfreak.

Only 76 of the 1960 Edsel convertibles were made...

I prefer the chrome trim instead. I'm a stickler for realism :)

I didn't know that only 76 1960 Edsel convertibles were made. Thanks for the info.

The trim is chrome, sorry if it appears to be gold in the pic.

YUP : Only 76 conv's were built for 1960 . Just last month a record was set when one restored to perfection was sold at auction for $170,000 + !!!! Previous high was $70,000 ... Only other Edsel to bring similar $$$ is a 58 Citation conv . Most Edsels are under $15,000 . If its a 4dr - 10 grand would be a miracle . I would hope Brooklin would do a better job on theirs . The blue is correct for Cadet blue , but the interior color is wrong ( which is common with Brooklin cars) . Blue wasnt availble in convs as an interior color , it would of been black & silver . I hope they do release it in another color . Its never been released a 2nd time . There were 2 limited specials done though.
The pic is of the turquoise one , that sold for big $$$.

The trouble now seems to be Fords with Edsel fenders selling. I saw a 58 retractable that had Edsel body parts. A retractable that looks like a 58 Edsel has lots of attention.

Mtchbxtom, There are lots of converted Edsels out there . Ive seen 2 58 Retractibles , 1 59 Retractable , numerous Edcheros ( Ranchero) , Sedan Delivery , Limo , etc . Anything Ford made , but not Edsel ... Not always an easy conversion , but do-able . There are also some Edsel Taxis , Police & race cars out there . Edsel did sell to police depts for real , so some are accurate replicas . The real rarities are the Amblewagon Edsels . Very few were made in 58 & 59 . These are wagons converted to ambulance by the Amblewagon Co. There are probably pics on the web somewhere . On yahoogroups edselmail , there are some in their photofiles ..
