Condition strong 3: She looks fine from 10 feet away. Closer you'll see some blemishes but I wouldn't change a thing. At 47 years old she has "bags of character", well, would you put a wig on Sean Connery? No! See
the rocket on the side of this car, at the end the light clusters
are rocket engines. |

My prize possession - Took two years to find- the Hooded Mirror! Changing hands for more than $500, only a few were made for the 1958 car only. On the back it has the car's grille. The mirror swivels and the hood tilts.

A little known highly ironic fact that I found out recently: The 1959 Galaxy if you look closely, has the 1958 Edsel body with a different grille and the same engine and running gear. I was astonished to find all this when I saw a 59 Galaxy recently. The irony is that this car won the Brussells World Trade Fair Prize FOR DESIGN, proving the point that it was the grille that destroyed Edsel and nothing else...and that's why the 58 Grille is the most famous or imfamous Grille in the history of the automobile.
