I sold a pair of green valve covers on EBAY a few years ago. They had the word F O R D embossed on them. I can't remember where they came from. Did they belong to an Edsel or do the Edsel covers say E D S E L on top?
59 Edsels with the 332, 361 FE motors had "bald" valve covers
60 Edsels with the 352 FE motor also had "bald" valve covers
58-64 FORD with the 332, 352, 390 FE motors used valve covers with F O R D on them
58-60 T-bird with 352 FE motors used valve covers with F O R D on them
59-60 T-bird with 430 MEL motors used valve covers that were "bald"
61-64 T-bird with 390 FE motors used valve covers that had Thunderbird on them
61-62 Mercury with 352, 390 FE motors used valve covers with F O R D on them and were GREEN
63-64 mercury with 390 FE motors used valve covers that had Mercury on them
Note: the Edsel "bald" valve covers are getting hard to find because people chrome them and use them on the 406-427 FE Galaxies
