StevenGuthmiller Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) The 1959 Edsel advertising said, "Making history by Making Sense". Well, maybe the Edsel didn't make a lot of sense at the time, but it definately made history! This kit started life as a "Junior Trophy Series" kit, so it's not a "true" annual but it came from the same mold. Painted in "President Red" & "Snow White", (Well, actually Duplicolor GM Bright Red & Dover/Arctic White) But hey, red is red & white is white. Any body who followed this build knows about the hand painted upholstery pattern. Not factory correct, I know, but it needed some "jazzing" up.The chrome has been redone, an original continental kit added & some photo etched "EDSEL" scripts applied. I also added the chrome "ribs" to the continental deck. A set of "parts pack" wide whites & a stolen mirror from the '58 Edsel & that was all she wrote! Thanks.

Sixties Sam Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Wow! That's really nice! Great work on an interesting subject! Sam
The Modeling Hermit Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 It sure looks a lot better than the one I restored a couple years ago. That continental kit really ads class to it.
TooOld Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Steven, that is absolutely gorgeous. Great job. I'm quickly running out of words to describe your builds , so I'll just agree with Rich !
thatz4u Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 of all the Edsels made I like the 1959 the most. Yours is an excellent build
peekay Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Another fantastic model! So great to see these rare old kits built so beautifully.
John Goschke Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Very sharp! Your work is outstanding and I love the subject matter!
W-409 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I've pretty much said what I can on your previous builds. They are Fantastic!!! Another fantastic model! So great to see these rare old kits built so beautifully. Peter pretty much said what I thought when I saw this one. This combines two things I really like, as I like to see different stuff and old kits being built, but I also like very nicely done models... Really nice work. The seats interest me, too. How did you do them?
dino246gt Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Wow, what a beauty, and look at that interior, on my, how'd ya do that?
bbowser Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Beautiful! How did you do the seats? Hand painted upholstery pattern? You have more patience than me my friend! Great model.
