Not a Mopar but I thought this was a stunning car at the Mecum auction this past weekend in Harrisburg pa. Sold for 40k

1960 Edsels are very rare-cause they were in production for a month or two when Edsel went belly up. 2846 were produced in the 2 month period (all models)
I'm surprised that Edsel only went for $40k

restored the car:
