AMHERST, N.Y.
You've gotta love the Jonquil Yellow-and-Black paint scheme on this 1958 Edsel Ranger. You've also gotta love the fact that its owners brought it all the way from the Des Moines, Iowa area for this year's International Edsel Rally, which was held at the local Marriott.
The Ranger was Edsel's entry level model. It was also the only one of the four — not counting the Villager wagons — to survive into the brand's second model year (the other series being the Pacer, Corsair, and Citation). The Ranger four-door hardtop was right in the middle of the series sales-wise (at 3,077), selling more than the three wagon models, but fewer than the two- and four-door sedans and the two-door hardtop.
Surprisingly, this was one of two Edsels to show up at the Rally from Polk County, Iowa.
