I could not help but think what a drastic difference this 59 was from Gregs 60!

I like all Edsels but,I would take Gregs 60 over a 59 anyday......just looks more refined if ya ask me.

On a side note,this 59 was brought to the show by the original owner....nice guy that had some good stories about his Ed Sled.......[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_tup.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_tup.gif[/img]

The '60 could have looked like this.

Looks like a prototype or maybe a custom.

The two-tone rocks, but the grill...yeesh, somebody get me a barf bag..[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif[/img]

I think it is funny that the names Corsair and Citation were later used by GM. Was that done just to rub Ford's face in the Edsel failure?
Too bad the Edsel didn't take off. I wonder what it would look like today? Imagine a Taurus with a horsecollar grille.

Oh yeah, there is no such thing as a "Ford Edsel".....that's kinda like saying a "Ford Mercury" or a "Ford Lincoln".

No prob Greg! I wanna learn as much as possible about cars and you are a good teacher![img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_tup.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_tup.gif[/img]

So....Edsel was there own company in a way?

Were they made in dedicated "Edsel" assembly lines or did they go through the Ford plants?

I always thought Edsels were awesome......I think a 1960 is my favorite from what I have seen so far....
