My FIL has a collection of similar vintage cars. He buys aviation gas. Leaded + no ethanol. Expensive as all get out!!! He says it has a shelf life in years.

Me? I would buy non ethanol and add a lead substitute.

Oil? I can’t imagine the Edsel has mechanical lifters. If not, then a quality oils should be fine. Am I missing something?

I do know with FIL’s cars, they need to be driven. Brakes, batteries, and transmissions all degrade shockingly quickly without miles. The av-gas has removed one variable of failure from these cars, however.

Congratulations on the gift. These American Iron cars are pretty cool.
