Upper Middle Petrol Head:

I thought that it might require a little research to determine what year this Edsel Ranger  hailed from.  Wrong!  Turns out that the Edsel - a marque within the broader Ford Motor Company, named in honour of founder Big H's son - is either a 1958, '59 or '60, as they're the only three years that Edsels were produced. Today's example - photographed at the April, 2023, instalment of Hobart's Classic by the Beach car enthusiasts' gathering - was quite extraordinary, not only being in first rate nick but also having a very, very cool custom paint job.  The bonnet and boot each featured some presumably hand-painted (?) pinstriping, while the roof was adorned with a nifty floral  motif.  Photo courtesy of A J Lackington This is LA's old-school Cressida.  It's in what looks to be in very original condition with shiny duco, great chrome and a pristine black vinyl roof.  It's ostensibly stock, although it does sit on a very nice set of JDM-style alloys.
