1958 Edsel Comparison
Posted by spankybird on Sunday, November 14, 2004 11:17 AM
This weekend we pick up a 1958 Edsel wagon in 1/43 scale by Minichamps. Price $24.95. [:p]



This is really a great model for your layout. Yeh, its more the K-lines $5.00 cars [:0] but so is the quality [;)]. It is even to scale [:D]. I thought I would compare it to a Franklin Mint Edsel that I also have.











Of course the doors open on the Franklin Mint and so does the hood with a very detailed engine.



Over all this is really a very nice car for the money.

HI Jon,

Next week we will have the Grayhound double deck bus. I couldn't bring it home this weekend, but next week look out.

Beautifull car Tom, would really want one in 1:1 scale.. but 1:43 will do allright.
