[DeTomaso] No pantera content (Edsel Ranchero)

[John McKee]

Just like DeTomaso enthusiasts, Edsel guys have found the internet as well.
(note: Edsel owners might be considered slightly more eccentric than Pantera 
owners!)
The "Edchero" appears to be a custom creation.

If anybody out there always wanted a '58 Edsel Pacer,  my late father in-law 
has left a nice one sitting in garage that needs a new home.

I also ran across one of these things, years ago in Oklahoma. It was at a 
house, I stopped and talked to the owner, who also had a Edsel convertible 
in the garage. He told me that it had been owned by a flower shop prior. He 
indicated to me that it was factory, but I haven't been able to back it up 
with any know documentation anywhere, Most people think the man was lying to 
me and that it would have been a station wagon converted. If it was a 
conversion they did one fine job. I took pictures, but with a poor quality 
camera. Several years after I tried to contact him. I talked to his wife and 
found out he had passed away. It would seem that some Edsel club should have 
"the rest of the story". I would sure like to know the facts.

This afternoon I passed a 58-59 "Ranchero." It had Edsel taillights and 
Edsel front end. Was this a put together job or did they actually make an 
Edsel Rancero. It was done very well so it looked like the real thing. I've 
jut never seen one, if it was for real.
