Remember it's half price and there's no waiting! The Edsel Legacy: Ford had a void in their lineup that needed to be filled. It was decided that an entirely new car division and an entirely new car is what they needed. The Edsel was kept very tight lipped under extremely tight security in anticipation of it's release. One of the biggest marketing campaigns of the time was launched. 2.5 million people visited dealer showrooms the day the Edsel was unveiled. The hype actually raised people's expectations to such an extreme level, the car could not live up to people's expectations. The most outstanding features would probably be the horse collar grill and innovative Teletouch push button shifter in the middle of the steering wheel. Among other things that were working against Edsel's success was a failing economy. Car sales across the board were way down. After only 3 years, millions and millions of dollars lost and great embarrassment, Ford scrapped the Edsel completely. Now today the Edsel's are a very sought after collectible. Such limited production #s make them rare, especially a convertible. The Edsel story will be a significant chapter in automotive history. That makes it that much more intriguing today, like the Tucker. Wether you want to add a centerpiece to your collection, or you want that one collector car that puts most others to shame, or if you want an old car to drive that is better then it was new; this is the car. Remember it's half price and there's no waiting! Power 4 wheel disc Power steering Power top Tachometer T & C radio Dial temp heater Dual exhaust Radial whitewalls Owner's manual
