I concur with Mr.N.Custom. BEAUTIFUL!!! :eusa_clap You have to stop look at an Edsel whenever you see one. It is an icon of the late 50’s.
One of my Uncles was the service dept. manager at a Ford / Lincoln / Mercury dealership in Calixico, CA back in the late 50’s and early 60’s and he hated the Edsels. He thought they were a nice car, but they used many components from both Fords and Lincolns and caused him some headaches.
His favorite was the Mercury. When my Grandfather died in 1959, he took a new Mercury from the dealership and drove from California to Maryland in 3 ½ days, and this was before the interstate system! He said he out ran the cops in four states and the car had some significant damage when he arrived. I am sure there is more to the story than we will ever know.
