1959 Edsel Corsair Retracrable

[Kahuna]

I have never owned an Edsel, But in 1958 as a 15 year old kid, who just got his license, I got to drive a new 58 Edsel Corsair or Citation convertible in the Homecoming parade with 5 really cute older girls. I can't remember which one. Corsair, I'm guessing
I thought that it was a really cool car that would smoke the tires in an instant.
It didn't have a Continental Kit on it, but it had a 410 cubic inch engine.
I really liked the gear selector in the steering wheel. I heard these were somewhat problematic later on.
The dealer had loaned 5 Edsels to the school for this parade.
What a great evening.
I just knew you all wanted to know this??? LOL
