How many would it take to throw a wheel out of balance?
When moving wouldn't the centrifugal force of the wheel force the ants evenly to the outer rim of the wheel???? LOL

Perhaps, this DOT 3 insecticide was made by the makers of this blinker fluid. It's good for 10,000 blinks.

I finally had a chance to stop and take some closer pics of this Edsel.
It looks like that at one time everything worked as there are actuators on all the arms and a control panel inside. It doesn't look like the front bucket hasn't worked in ages.

Kind of a shame, both those Edsels look to have been in good shape. I bet the wagon is a real rarity.

This made me search a little. It looks like there are several places that sell body kits. This site has a 56 F100 version

I didn't spend much time, but I didn't find the 4-50 model.
