1959 Edsel Ranger Hardtop Coupe. See more pictures of 1950s cars.
Less elaborately trimmed and equipped than the Corsairs,
they were available with a delete-option six, Ford's well-known 223-cid unit,
as well as a standard 292 V-8. The Corsair's standard 332-cid powerplant and
the carryover 361 V-8 were also offered, though seldom ordered.
Most comments for the 1959 Corsair also apply here.

Minuses of the 1959 Edsel Ranger Hardtops:
