#1 model citizen Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Very nice. I' been looking a '60 Edsel to do myself. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moparfarmer Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Very nice job..The 60 Edsel was really just a Ford with different quirks that made it look Edsel..Was nice and separate in 1958 but just too radical for that time period..Front end was just butt ugly..

crazyjim Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Pretty cool. Those taillights remind me of an old Comet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my66s55 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Very nicely done Al. That license plate would work twice as good for me as that kit was the last one I built in 1960 until 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatz4u Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Pretty cool. Those taillights remind me of an old Comet.Jim, know what you mean 1961 Comets were close, thanks, Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CometMan Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) Pretty cool. Those taillights remind me of an old Comet.Comets were intended to be part of the Edsel line. The taillights of the 60-61 Comet were the same ones used on the 60 Edsel, interior hardware on the 60-61 Comets were originally used on the 59 Edsel.

crazyjim Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Aha! No wonder they look the same. thanks for the info, Craig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatz4u Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 some call Edsels ugly, others said they were ahead of their time...in 1968 full size Pontiacs looked very much the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
