Where is the drool button?


This beautiful 1960 DeSoto Adventurer has new cruise control, swivel seats, tinted glass, a 383 engine ((4bbl), and a 3 speed torqueflite transmission, and has new factory correct paint and a fresh interior. It rides and steers like a dream.
We genuinely hate parting with these beautiful and fairly unique classics, and this price is less than we have in them (quite a bit less), so don't bother asking us to entertain an offer. We may separate them at some point down the road, but not for at least a year. By the way...I'm considerably easier to negotiate with than my wife is, so you probably shouldn't think about it too long if you're sincerely interested in owning these ready-to-cruise-in stunners for this little. We don't really care about the loss of $$$, just hoping to find them all a new GOOD home.

Health issues dictate that it's time to find new homes these cruisers. All have been very carefully and lovingly maintained. All are virtually rust free to the best of our knowledge. All have newer paint, newer appropriate interiors, complete engine & transmission rebuilds, extremely low mileage - top of the line radial tires, newer exhausts, newer brakes, most if not ALL newer steering components, newer shocks, newer batteries, halogen headlights, plus all fuel tank, fuel pump and carburetor concerns have been regularly addressed. Close to all stainless trim and bumpers have been polished and/or rechromed. They were all in outstanding condition when we purchased them, and have been continually upgraded as we enjoyed them for the past several years. They all have AC (the Edsel's is factory).

This 1959 Edsel Corsair convertible has had a professionally fitted, all stock retractable roof from a 1959 Ford Skyliner precisely installed, which works like a charm, and has a flashy Galaxie 500 interior. Talk about knocking peoples' socks off at a cruise-in! It has all the 1959 factory options and is a super car to drive.
This stunning 1959 El Camino has pretty much all the options you could get on a '59 Impala. With a late '60s 350, under a new 650 4 bbl, and tied to a beefed up 350 automatic (on the floor), even with a 331 rear end it gets up and goes like a rocket. Or so my wife says! New AC, disc brakes up front, dual sway bars, new drive shaft and carrier bearing, I-pod ready, smaller steering wheel, custom floor console, PW, (605) PS, PB. Tinted glass, bucket seats done in correct '59 Impala cloth (looks fantastic), cruise control, fiberglass deck lid with electric release hidden inside vehicle, NEW correct box liner (metal) - with heavy rubber mat and corvette grade carpet over all. Box lights up around periphery for "after dark" activities. American mags with 11" rear and 9" front rubber. Beautiful custom gold-jeweled tape in beltline stainless. Foxy gold silk "El Camino" embroidered into the package tray. Spare tire cleverly installed where tire well was.
Roof, mag spokes, and side-stainless trim are gold, while the car is a drop dead gorgeous 2012 GM sunburst pearl.

That Edsel with the retractable hardtop is pretty cool.

$60k each might be optimistic from a retail standpoint but you couldn't duplicate them for that either.
