We lost your friend in South Carolina. He was turning 93. A very well loved and lived life. He truly enjoyed talking with you. All the best in your future endeavors. Aiken SC, USA.
I'm saddened to hear that. I enjoyed chatting with him and since I spoke to him so close to his passing, I suspect there was no suffering. Something we can all wish for. May he rest in peace.
I remember the first time I saw a 1960 Edsel, It was in the early 1970's, probably about 1973 or 1974. It was parked and regularly in the Framingham Massachusetts town center. It was a white 4 door and in nice shape. I always wondered what happened to that car. I always hoped it was saved. On another note, the clock in my 1977 Dodge Royal Monaco works.....which cracks me up, never have I seen that before in an old car......I had a 1961 Rambler a couple years back and the radio worked....all the tubes were fine and it worked like new, even the speakers worked...that was amazing
That brings back some memories. When I was in high school, my dad started collecting Edsels, at one time he had over 30 of them, including a 1960 convertible. I drove a 1959 sedan when I started college. Great car, never gave me any problems.
Not many people know, but Ford had intended to produce a Corsair model for 1960, and even made a prototype, but it was never produced. An Edsel enthusiast made his own 1960 Corsair basing it on the photographs he was able to find for it. The 1960 Ranger's DeLuxe interior option would have been the standard interior for the Corsair.
The 1960 Fords were great looking cars. Kinda ironic that they went from an ugly and offensive looking 59 model to this and then followed up in 1961 with an ugly and bland car.
@@orphancargarage5746 I like all three as well, but that '60 is sexy. Do you know about the Edsels in Shelbyville, TN? Someone there has quite a few, or did not all that long ago.
The tailites are quite interesting as they mimicked the 58-59 Edsel grille. To bad McNamera pulled the plug on the Edsel. Their were rumors that a Citation prototype was also in the works too.
Pretty much from the time Ford came out with an automatic transmission, the cars needed to be in neutral to start. My parents had a '54 Ford and we had family friends that had a '61 Galaxie. They had to be in neutral to start. Perhaps Ford decided that the Edsel, being a more expensive, premium car, should start in park as well if this one used to start in park.
That is a nice original for sure. I'm not sure why they continued the Edsel into the early part of the 1960 model year though, if they'd already decided to hang it up before the 1959s even went into production.
When Ford through in the towel on Edsel, they basically just took the 60 Ford and put some Edsel badging on it. Those tail lights are hideous. The Ford was much better looking.
The taillights mimicked the 58/59 grill and gave the 60 model it's unique style. To bad McNamera pulled the plug on the Edsel as a Cirion proto type was also in the works.

I wish cars had colors like that era

Bet you wish you still had the convertible! One of just 76!
Those Y blocks were famous for starting the instant you touched the key , even in below zero temps .

I also like the '60 Ford and the '60 🇨🇦Meteor. Thanks for posting this

❤❤these cars are gorgeous..Ford miss it ..they should have continued. I like the Edsel . Great design 😊😊😊
I found your channel today and subscribed to it today 😀. Im glad you made this video, thanks.
Awesome! Thank you!
There is (or was?) a '60 coupe in Wisconisco, Pa. And in Krummsville(pa). All 60 models were Ranger series.
Thanks for posting.
You're welcome
Wow!!! 🎈🎉
Very rare old car

Cool 🥰
Used '61 Ford gage cluster. Early Ford-o-matics did require starting in neutral gear. Wonder what's up with that?
That is a nice original for sure. I'm not sure why they continued the Edsel into the early part of the 1960 model year though, if they'd already decided to hang it up before the 1959s even went into production.
The 59's came out in the fall of 58, the 60's came out in September of 59.
Same body as the Ford Galaxie
Actually, the same as a 1960 Ford Fairlane. Does not have the Galaxy roof.
Also same body as the Meteor which was sold in Canada.
How rare. Body parts very rare. Did they make a 2 door?
There was even a ragtop.
A two door sedan. A two door hardtop and even a convertible. I think they built like 76 of them only.
Gee, don't you dare tell us what you got for it. Somebody might accuse you of ripping someone off.
Gee, you nearly made a good decision about this car. And Ford nearly made a good decision about the Edsel. Oh well.
