Haha !
Yes, we had a beautiful Edsel when I was a kid. So did my cousin. My uncle bought one late in life and restored it.
They were beautiful. And yes, the Edsel was a dud.
Edsel was Henry Ford’s son’s name if I recall and it was his idea. Way ahead of it’s time. Push button auto in the center of the steering wheel.
They only lasted a few years but are worth an absolute fortune today.
The automobile is part of America’s tradition and we were the envy of the world in that department for many years until we allowed the imports to dump their cars here for less than cost (subsidized by their Govs).
And of course we all know how America couldn’t compete with the 3rd world wages, tariffs, etc, etc.
Boy did we get screwed !
Please take the time to ask Jeff Bridges to drop the Hyundai ads and come back to his home team.
America cannot afford to subsidize another foreign auto manufacturer to destroy what is left of our own.
