Edsel Ranger 1960
The 1960 Edsel production lasted just a single month with all cars being built with Ranger trim. There was a convertible along with 2 and 4-door sedans, 2 and 4-door hardtops, and 2 versions of the Villager station wagon. All the bodies were Ford Fairlanes. Just 2,846 Edesels were made in the final year.

Edsel Ranger 1960 2-door Sedan. For 1960 the Edsel took the new body of the Ford Fairlane, gave it a slightly longer wheelbase and overall length, and then restyled by Bud Kaufman to give it the 'Edsel look'. At the last minute the 'horse collar' grille motif was removed and this split grille resembling a 1959 Pontiac was given.
