I need to do something with the exhaust right away. Duals? Glasspacks? Also thoughts on tires and wheels? It has a Express V8 332 cid (5.43 litre) in it from the factory.

Sorry Al...in 1959, American cars still had cubic inches. Ferin cars had liters. It is ILLEGAL to convert cubes to cc's/liters. LOL.
Any local exhaust shop should be able to take care of the duals. Wheels should be the same as Ford/Merc?

Anyone can restore an old car, it takes a man to cut one up.

An EDSEL ?????? Even if I had worked on one,I don't think I would admit it anyone !!!! Just kidding......couldn't help myself,just another one of my moments!!! I would imagine most of the stuff you can do/use from a Ford of that era will work on the Edsel. I believe they shared a lot of parts. As far as tires/rims...as big as you stuff under it!

I watched some U joints on a wagon get changed last night at a local shop in Phx, AZ......
The guy was very lucky. The U-joint in the rear was close to blowing out. He was in AZ for the GG show from Washington state.
Who makes these wheels? They would look great on my new Edsel

Fronts look like Cragar S/S.
Rears look like pretty common 5 slot/window wheels, could be Ansen, Cragar, ET-Wheels, American racing, a lot of companies made them. No one currently does, but they are on E-bay all the time. ET-Wheels has some that look even better but there pretty expensive.
Yes, but these are real nice. I looked at their site. I think these will be the ones. Thanks!
