The 1958 Ford Edsel Citation Convertible is the top-tier model of the ill-fated Edsel line, of which only 930 examples were produced. Finished in Frost White with Turquoise scallops, this example is equipped with the 410 cubic-inch V-8, Teletouch automatic transmission, full power accessories, and the rare factory air conditioning option. Restored in 1994, it earned dual AACA National awards in 2000 and carries documented collection history spanning more than two decades.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
