Jack Whipple reports:

Jack Demmer passed away January 31, 2017. He was the co-

owner of Spitler-Demmer Edsel in Wayne Michigan. Many who

attended the 2007 annual rally in Dearborn will remember that

Mr. Demmer spoke to us about his experiences as an Edsel deal-

ership owner one evening under the large tent in the parking lot.

Springing Forward!

With Spring just around the corner, it’s great to see our column for

national and local chapter news on the front page filled once again

with several “Edsel Events” to attend. As a reminder, announce-

ments for these events can also be found on our club’s website.

Many have been fortunate this year to experience one of the mild-

est winters in decades. If you were one of those lucky souls then

perhaps you were able get that Edsel out of hibernation a bit earlier

this year to make ready for our big Diamond Anniversary Rally in

Michigan this summer. Which leads me to say, in all honesty, I

may not be opposed to a reasonable amount of global warming ... I

actually think it saves energy! I have the heating bills to prove it.

This issue contains the first printing of our annual rally registration

form found on pages 4 & 5. As a reminder, the registration fee is

$25 per family if postmarked by June 1 and $30 thereafter. Page 5

presents several optional tours to local areas of interest that the

committee has planned. Many of these outings have a special

group rate negotiated for our club. Hotel reservation information

for the Holiday Inn Southgate is found on page 1.

Springing forward now to next year and our club’s fiftieth anniver-

sary rally; Jim Turner and Rick Galas have been working on our 50

year membership pin design which will be fashioned in black and

gold for those members celebrating fifty years of club membership.

Fifty years … Wow! Where has the time gone?

Part 3: The Edsel Colors and Upholsteries Book for 1960 Article by: Bruce Dean

Above: Fourth page of the book contained illustrations of Ranger four door hardtop

and Villager wagon listing Edsel Color Codes in single and two-tone combinations.

Tabbed fifth page entitled “Body Color Chips” contained paint chips of the fifteen

paint colors available for Edsel in 1960.

In this third of a multipart series we will look at the fourth and fifth pages of the 1960 Edsel

Color and Upholstery Book. On the fourth page illustrations of the Ranger four door hardtop

and the Villager wagon showed both single tone on the upper portion of page and two-tone

on the lower. Due to the thin top design for the 1960 Edsels you have to look real close to

see that the two-tone illustrations have the top colored black. Factory paint codes are listed

with the note that two-tone body and top combinations are reversible and that convertible

tops are available in black and white. The fifth page contained sample paint color chips with

factory paint code letter designations.

Story continued next month.

Wanted: Information regarding Edsel Dual

power booster for brakes drums/drums. Who did

install such part on his 1958 Edsel (I have a Cita-tion)? Which type is most easy to install? Who

knows, where to buy? I have already two separated

brake lines front/rear with dual reservoir mas-ter with booster, but from a Volvo. It works bad,

because of it is made for disk/drum brakes not for

You & Your Edsel: Frank Chan’s 1958 Edsel Pacer 2 DR HT

from Alexandra, MN. Sold new in Sept 1957 and was parked

for 30 years. Motor and trans were out but after putting new

ones in and new tires he’s enjoying the car now.

Thanks Frank!
