Powered by a 361ci V8 engine and a period-correct automatic transmission. From the Cars of Dreams Collection. Long Description: This 1958 Edsel Bermuda was modified in 2016 by Roush from a steering column-shifted manual transmission to an automatic transmission that utilized the same steering column configuration, along with several minor repairs. The 361ci V8 engine was removed to repair several minor cracks in the front frame rails. While the engine was out, the old, cracked exhaust manifolds were replaced. The carburetor was rebuilt, the distributor vacuum advance was replaced, the engine was painted the appropriate yellow, and a new ignition system was added for reliable operation. The frame was found to have a few age-related cracks, which were repaired, and was painted black as appropriate. Several areas of the floor pan needed replacing to ensure solid body panels, then paint and heat insulation were added. The replacement of the transmission required several other items to be changed: The three pedals inside the car were converted to the period-correct two-pedal system appropriate for the automatic transmission, and transmission oil cooler lines were installed. The steering column was modified to accept the transmission control linkage and PRNDL indicator. The exhaust system was modified to fit the automatic transmission package and a new driveshaft was designed and built to accommodate it. A new transmission control linkage was fabricated to connect the steering column linkage to the new transmission. The rear axle was rebuilt with new seals, bushings and brakes. The interior was upgraded by adding heat shielding, new carpeting and seam sealing. The seats and door panels were refreshed, and many interior components were repainted. The dash panel gauges were cleaned, painted or polished; the radio and amplifier were repaired; seat belts installed for added safety; and a new headliner was also added. A new battery was installed, and the sending unit in the gas tank was updated as well as some of the associated wiring. The voltage regulator was replaced as well as some of the age- and heat-related under-hood wiring harnesses. The vehicle is autographed by Edsel B. Ford II. From the Cars of Dreams Collection.
