The Citation was the highest trim level available
from the Edsel brand, a division of Ford. It was
sold for just the 1958 model year as a 2 door convertible,
2 door hardtop, and 4 door hardtop.

The Citation had the longer 124 inch wheelbase, which
it shared with other models from Mercury, which was
one of Ford's upscale divisions at the time (from
lowest to highest the lineage was Ford -> Edsel ->
Mercury -> Lincoln). It came with a 3 speed automatic
transmission and a 410 cubic inch V8 making 345 horsepower.
It also came standard with the Teletouch automatic
gear selector, which was located in the middle hub
on the steering wheel, and was not well-received
by car buyers. Total production in North America
was 8,577, with just 930 of them being the convertible
body type. These convertibles remain the Edsel most
coveted by car collectors.
You might be able to find one or two of these listed
on eBay on occasion, but only if you're keeping an
eye out for it. I've also seen some very hard to
find parts for these cars on eBay, which is a whole
lot more convenient than search through piles of
scrap metal at a live collectors car swap meet. |
