1958 Ford Edsel Citation Convertible by Franklin Mint

This is one of the most beautiful and most impressive models of Franklin Mint Classic Cars of the 50's. It is perfect 1:43 scale replica with unique lines and unique spirit, painted in the car´s original color of "Chalk Pink"/ Frost White. Stunning  6 seater convertible is the highlight of any collection of American cruisers.
The Citation represented the highest trim level available within the Edsel brand. In addition to deluxe interior appointments, the Citation also received extra stainless steel details and a gold-anodized aluminum cove panel. The cove (or rear quarter-panel "scallop") could be painted either the color of the body or the color of the roof, in this case -  white.
This model with a beautifully executed details is very difficult to obtain in mint condition. With many detailed parts is very sensitive.  When you search model for your collection, you must  be careful.  The model was made in the year 1987 and on the most models is missing the viewfinder on the driver's door and hood ornament. Also attaching the hood may be damaged.
Model is re-created with attention to superb detailing from its truly distinctive "horse-collar" grille to the front wraparound parking lamps and color coordinated hub caps.
Brooklin manufactures the same model, but with the lack of details.
