. . . . No reserve on this very unusual older-vintage AMT custom-built 1958
Edsel hardtop 1/25-scale model kit car. This cool-looking Edsel was nicely-built
and painted in a sort of medium tan/dark gold color with dark cream rear fender
coves. Has a two-tone medium tan and light tan interior. This custom Edsel has
a ’58 Fairlane front body clip cleanly grafted to it and also sports a ’57 Canadian
Ford Meteor chrome grille and bumper. Paint was uniformly-applied all the way
around and just looks super-nice, as you can easily see in the photos. If you
look very carefully, you may be able to see where the front clip was grafted to
the car body but, overall, this build was professionally done. The car was
carefully-detailed with all window trim, side trim, roof trim, interior trim
and badging done in silver paint, as shown. The realistic-looking ’57 Canadian
Ford Meteor front chrome grille-inserts were first done in black and then
cleanly-wiped so that the chrome highlights are still very bright. This very
unusual Edsel has been sitting in a glass-enclosed display case in a
smoke-free, though just a little bit dusty, Model Car/Truck collection for a
number of years. The car body itself is very straight and the window posts and
vent posts are nice and straight and aren’t bent or broken. No cracks or breaks
in the windows but the windshield is just a little bit ill-fitting with a
slight gap between the top of the windshield and the roof, as shown, and there
are a few old glue-residue spots visible, too. The steering wheel is in place,
along with both door handles, the hood ornament and both red tail lights. The
hood opens easily to show the carefully-built and painted engine. The chassis
was done in body color with silver and black highlights. All of the wide white
wall tires with “FORD” chrome wheel covers look great. This is a static model
only, as all of the tires/wheels have been glued into place and do not roll.
There is a very slight wobble when all of the tires are resting on a flat
surface. This unusual ‘50s “Tri-Ford” measures approximately 8
¼-inches-in-length. There are no additional parts included with this custom hardtop
and no kit-box is included, either. Makes a very fun addition to any Vintage Ford/Edsel,
Custom Car or Model Kit collection! Again, this sharp-looking custom ’58 was well-built/painted
but is not mint and no kit-box is included, as very clearly noted above and as
shown in the many photos. PLEASE NOTE: this model car was long-ago assembled
using model glue and occasionally, over time, pieces and parts may come loose
from the car while in transit, even when well-packed. This built-up model kit
vehicle will be placed in a plastic bag before being wrapped up in its final
layer of bubble wrap so that any errant parts/pieces can be easily found within
the plastic bag. Sold "as-is"; please check out all of the
photos carefully, as the photos are very much part of the item description!
