Franklin Mint 1:24 1958 Edsel Citation Convertible - Turquoise

  Franklin Mint 1:24 1958 Edsel Citation Convertible - Turquoise diecast car
 
 
 

FM's reissue of the '58 Edsel Citation Convertible is merely a repaint of one of FM's most outstanding models....but the Sunrise Turquoise and White convertible now comes alive in the actual colors that Ford's ill-fated Edsel Division promoted. The new color combo really makes this model stand up and out...it is truly a case in point where a paint change dramatically changes the entire presence of the model....much for the better. Add to that the matching interior (gone is the awful pink and brown disaster) along with a truly concerted QC effort (no loose doors or paint runs on this model), and we may be seeing the fruit of our Bulletin Board and Newsletter commentary coming to life....FM seems to be heeding the "wake-up" call. Don't nix this one 'til you see it....'cuz if you see it, you may have to have it...it's a beauty.... The issue price is $120. [Reviewed 8/97]
