Re: 1959 Edsel Corsair Retracrable
THANX! for that info...
B8E 1130-A is what I was after. Have seen them on both FORD and BIRD of the period. I wonder if the guys knew what they were off of?

Re: 1959 Edsel Corsair Retracrable
Guess I never saw a '58 T-Bird with hub caps as opposed to full wheel covers. Must be pretty rare to be factory installed on a Bird.

Re: 1959 Edsel Corsair Retracrable
scicala commented - "About the only body panels left are the hood and deck lid. Imagine they were different between the two versions of '58 Edsels too. Maybe not.
To answer his question, the Deck Lids are different between the two series. Compare the shape down at the bottom corner, and you will see that the edge is straight down on the Citation and angled on the Pacer. |

Here is another made up Edsel Retractable. This one is based on the 1958 Pacer, but uses Station Wagon Tail Lights. |

Here is an additional photo of wheat I think is the same car.
It appears (to me anyway) that he used a 57 SKYLINER for the conversion and the SW tail lamps will allow him to easily convert it back to a FORD with a sheet metal/trim change.

Re: 1959 Edsel Corsair Retracrable
Agreed, the wheel well opening is defiantly 57 Ford. Here is a shot of the 58 Pacer wheel well.

BTW- I came across an aftermarket trim ring that will set those center caps off. Interested?

They're not mine, just came across them on EvilBay. They would really set-off a set of EDSEL hub caps IMO. BTW- Are those FORD hub caps I see?

Re: 1959 Edsel Corsair Retracrable
It seems that creating an Edsel Retractable is more common than you think? Check out these three examples of 1958 Edsel Retractables. |

Re: 1959 Edsel Corsair Retracrable
Hey... I found it hard to believe it also when I saw the photo. Base BIRD.
Even a HTR was an option. The car also had the skirt pins but may have been installed as an ACCESS. I like to pass on as much as I can as a lot of this has been forgotten. ... Now, this is an EDIT of the above post ... Don't ask how I did this but I am good at it ...
