Yard Report: FALLEN Edsel wagon, Classic Fords, Plymouths, & Chevrolet trucks! Junkyard walk around!

Mr. Goodpliers checks out the rows of classic cars & trucks at the junkyard! Check out Fords, Plymouths, Chevrolet pickups and a fallen 1958 Edsel Villager station wagon!

[@cls3512]

The Edsel tailgate will come off very easily with a 1/2" socket. Just lift the back floor deck that covers the spare tire and you will see 4 bolts that hold each hinge. Remove those and it's off. Those tailgates are the same as is used on '57 and '58 Ford wagons and Rancheros so they are very desirable.

[@markhoffman9674]

That's ashame for that rare station wagon! Would have made a good project for someone to make road worthy! Thanks for sharing.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

A smart junkyard keeps the vehicle off the ground!

[@patdesrosiers6423]

The U Pull N Pay yards here do, some of the old car yards north of here are less organized and cars sit on the ground. Cheers from Denver

[@urbanurchin5930]

I know that it has been said a hundred times - but is worth repeating.....those Edsel tail lights were reported ( back in the day ) to be confusing to drivers that would be driving along behind the wagon. The confusion came from the fact that the "point" of the arrow pointed in the opposite direction that the turn signal was indicating.

[@terryeustice5399]

Love the Edsel station wagon. Of course anything in Junkyard going be pretty trashed! Thanks for sharing!

[@JorgeDiaz-ly5qp]

The 4.3 Ford inline six on that '81 is the famous, venerable and stalwart 300. One of the great engines of all time.

[@todddenio3200]

300 was a 4.9 L.

[@realmaindrianpace]

Those '57-'59 Ford wagon/Ranchero 9 inch rears are still desirable, and so is the five lug 8" out of that Maverick. I grab them whenever I see them.

[@guadalahonky4002]

Your knowledge of Edsels is terrific. I once found a 1958 2-dr hardtop Ranger, black with a white scallop. I no longer view the Edsel as just a punchline.

[@msweetums7]

The Edsel front clip looks awesome on a 57 or 58 Ford car. Great for a Ranchero

[@leedaniels7196]

Love these junkyard walks!.Thank you!.😊

[@robertwatkins364]

Those Edsel wagon tail lights are pretty rare. They are popular for custom cars. 57 Ford comes to mind.

[@marvinalancornell8275]

One of Scott's Agents On, (Cold War Motors) rebuilt one of those push button transmission selector. If I'm not mistaken it was on Dean's 1958 Edsel Ranger 4 door. Very clean car.

[@Mercmad]

This stick shift version would have been less of a head ache for Dean to get driving too.

We won’t see that one on “Dean’s Greasy Flips” it’s a very nice car

[@garyjust.johnson1436]

[@markchandler1130]

Dart was compact starting 1963. All 1958 Edsels were V8s. 223 6 was standard in 1959.

[@raymondcollyear4773]

Hated to see the blue Ford with those great bumpers. Wish someone had bought that car before it got to the junkyard.

Mr. B. Here ! Not a fan of Ford but the wagons are so few . Glad you got tail lights .

Interesting stuff at the wreckers! Thanks again Tim.

[@rickijimenez2386]

We had a guy in our town years ago did an edge sword Ranchero conversion had the Edsel front end tail lights and he put some skirts on it lowered it looked very cool like a 50s custom it was painted yellow with white !

[@hotpuppy1]

You don't see anything like these around where I live. LONG GONE.

[@rogercamp6071]

Probably a dozen or more years ago I used to see a '58 Edsel 2 door wagon setting along Rt.23 going towards Columbus, Ohio,I stopped there once to look at it and the only glass that was left was the windshield, the engine was intact but most of the other parts were missing,last time I went through there it was gone.

A friend of mine has a 58 Edsel 2-door wagon. My aunt bought a new 58 Edsel 4-door hard top, and her daughter had a 2-door Ranger.

[@thomasweeks3232]

If you want to get that tailgate off use a hand held impact driver with a hammer. They work great and the one I have came with large phillips head driver bit.

[@stude1953]

They made only 978 of those '58 Edsel wagons! Would be nice to just get it up and running.

[@2509498788]

Thanks for the tour..& knowledge

[@todddenio3200]

The manual transmission in that Edsel is from a truck. Look at the shifter. It is a top plate type shifter input which wasn't used in cars. Cars used side input shifter linkage transmissions.

[@rscamarolover]

Sad to see that last c10 the 64-66 longbed and the Edsel wagon, although I'm a chevy person and everything I own is a chevy except my sexy 06 magnum wagon, I hate seeing classic wagons junked ,that one could have been fixed. But I never see any square body chevy trucks at junk yards here.

[@brianadams429]

The early bull nose trucks had 9" ford rearend. Some even had the N nodular iron case carrier where ford cleared the shelves for incoming 8.8 axle parts. They did the same with the gt 40 heads on explorers v8's to clear shelves for triton parts

[@johnnyanders5371]

I'll give you one thing you are knowledgeable. About any vehicle. That's a good thing

[@charliegutierrez8728]

Back one I was in high school there was a house in Napa with about 80 Edsels in the front yard.

[@roychristianson3644]

six cylinder was not available in 58.1959 and 60 had it so somebody swapped that engine and tranny in. Glad you got the tail lights, but should grab the small lower fins as well.

[@todddenio3200]

Transmission is from a truck

[@williamwagaman9538]

You need to get that Edsel wagon out of there

[@johnneild3914]

Dean at coldwar motors needs this

[@patdesrosiers6423]

He’s definitely an Edsel guy

[@jaylehr7974]

The Edsel wagon is a crazy mishmash. Data plate says it was a 6 passenger, but has a 9 passenger rear seat. Supposed to have a black and gold interior, but wears a blue interior instead. Looks like this 6 passenger wagon inherited a 9 passenger interior at some point. And obviously had a truck engine and tranny installed at some time. Someone put a lot of work into trying to keep this car alive.

[@ernielaw]

As for the 1975 and 76 Valiant, Look for white turn signal light on the 1975 and orange on the 1976. the only minor difference. I didn't know Edsel used the Bermuda name on their wagon. That is the same name Willys used on their last sedans for the North American market in 1955.

[@PhilGreeleyJR]

Those rechrome bumpers on the Stang are worth way more than scrap price for the car

[@jameshopkins4013]

If memory serves me right Edsel didn’t have a six in 58

[@roosty6]

Curious why someone would spend a small fortune re-chroming the bumpers on that blue Ford at the 5 minute mark and then let it go for a parts car. That Edsel would have been worth putting back on the road too.

Depending on the model the 58 Edsel could be ordered with a high hp (way over 300 hp) and high torque (nearly 500 lbs ft) engine that was more like what the late 60's muscle cars had.

Edsels came out of the factory as ugly junk.

[@todddenio3200]

Ugly is a matter of individual preference and some people consider them to be beautiful. As for them being junk, other than the electric push button shifter being a garbage design, the rest of the problems with them were caused by assembly line workers sabotaging them as they went down the assembly line because they were being built on the same assembly lines as the Fords and the workers hated having to stop to switch over to building an Edsel or 2 then switch back to building a bunch of Fords then switch over for a couple more Edsels.

[@ericwilliams8504]
