The Villager was sold by Ford - through its Edsel
division, for the 1958, 1959, and 1960 model years.
Along with the Roundup, it was the base trim station
wagon. The premium wagon sold by Edsel was the Bermuda.

All of the station wagons sold by the Ford brands
at this time used the 116 inch wheelbase and the
same core body stampings. Unlike the Roundup, the
Villager was a 4 door wagon that was available as
a 6 or 9 passenger vehicle. It had a 361 cubic inch
V8 engine and either a 3 speed manual or 3 speed
automatic transmission. In 1958 it was available
with the much-maligned Teletouch automatic gear selector.
It also had the recognizable Edsel front grill, which
differentiated this car from similar station wagons
offered by Ford. The Villager was the highest selling
of the Edsel station wagon models, but in the right
combination they can be very rare. For instance,
the 1960 9 passenger model was about as rare as fresh
air in New Jersey, with only 59 units sold. Obviously,
that particular model is very valuable today. You
can still find the other models for sale, although
your best bet is keeping an eye out for them on eBay,
where you can also find some very rare parts.
