Now I'm guessing - but I suspect that it might be the Cadillac powered convertible that was built in 1954.  the only other convertible built by Edwards was Mercury powered in 1952, the other 3 cars that were built were all coupes; 1 with a Cadillac engine and 2 with Lincoln engines,

More research and more guessing:  This might be the prototype car that was powered by an Oldsmobile "Rocket" V8
