It's all about BALBOABRUNO!
Or is it?
It's actually all about a car. The coolest looking car ever made. A car that has been my hobby for the last 30 years and a car that I'm sure to be interested in for the rest of my life. Being crazy about a classic car can be very expensive, So I'm going to start selling on ebay too. My auctions are going to consist of all those things that were going to "be worth something some day" and anything I think I can make a buck on. All the money I make on Ebay goes directly to the car or related items. Thanks for checking out my "About Me" page. Or was it about me at all?NO...It's all about the EDSEL.
I remember my first Edsel sighting. It was the summer of 1974 (I was nine). We were driving on Harlem Avenue just outside of Chicago when I saw this unusual looking car coming from the other direction. I pointed and said "look at that" and my dad said "Holy Cow, it's an Edsel". He was so excited we almost got into an accident. We did a U-turn and tried to catch it, but it was gone. Since that day I have been an Edsel fanatic. The following weekend I went to the library and I got all the books that had Edsels in them. I was fascinated by its history and in awe of its looks. In 1979 I got my first Edsel and I've had more than ten since. Right now I own an off-frame restored 1958 Edsel Pacer. It's the car I always wanted. It was restored in 1988 by well known Edsel restorer and customizer Don Carpenter. His other works include the Edsel Limo and the Edsel retractable. I think the 58 Edsel is the coolest looking thing that's ever had wheels attached to it. I buy and trade Edsel parts, (58 small series only) and I COLLECT EDSEL CAR CARE PRODUCTS AND FLUID CONTAINERS. Such as Edsel wax, Edsel brake fluid etc. I live just outside of Las Vegas. Email me if you want to talk Edsels, it's my favorite subject. Thanks for looking.Photo of me with an Edsel in 1979 and a few of my current Edsel taken in 2004
