This is a custom-built one-off Cabriolet body built to Edsel Ford’s specifications by Carl Deutsch of Cologne Germany.
This was a secret project which helped Edsel design the new “Continental” in 1939. It was removed to Edsel's estate immediately after assembly and was garaged in the carriage house at the estate for security reasons.
The hood ornament was hand crafted for Edsel by friend Jaques Cartier and also personally signed by him.
