EOC Member's Car of the Month - April 2008
EOC Co-Founder Dave Sinclair's 1959 Edsel Corsair Convertible

59 Corsair Convert Corsair Convertible
Dave's car in Dearborn 2007 Dave with Babe in Bemidji, MN
My '59 Corsair convert was delivered to the Bakersfield, CA area and spent its life in the dry Central Valley climate, until I acquired it from Tom and Barbara Wolfe of Porterville ,CA. in Feb. 1978. The Wolfes were very early EOC members.
 
The car is painted Jet Stream Blue, a seldom seen color on a convert. and only a handful are known.  It had 102K miles on it when I bought it, and now has 148K miles. It is not restored, and much of the paint is original.  Its equipped with the 361 Super Express V-8, Dual Power Drive, Polar-Aire A/C, power seats and electric wipers. It has been a great and trouble free tour car over the past 30 years, and I hope to drive it to Edmonton this summer for the 50th anniversary of the 1959 Edsel introduction.

And then there was this really nice engine in this awful looking beater with Fred Flintstone front floors...
