E Road Review

Over the week-end a special group of cars visited our area. As I have no memory of ever seeing any of these cars in person, and because my husband is a car guy, we went and took a look at them.

Introducing the infamous Edsel.


This convertible was well used by a family man with three kids. He brought it and the station wagon pictured below all the way from East Los Angeles.

I liked the color of this one. A lovely shade of green.

Another convertible, all shiny and like new.

Here's the station wagon from L. A. Big and roomy. Note the curved glass rear window.

This one is a survivor. An unrestored, four-door plain Jane.

A snazzy two-door.

This is a popular custom project, melding a Ford Ranchero pick-up with an Edsel. 

Another convertible, with a black ragtop and dual exhaust.

A nice emblem.
I'm not sure why Edsels had such a bad reputation except that they were competing with the classic Chevy '57. Even though the '57 is affectionately called the Grandaddy of Bling, the Edsels are heavy and loaded with chrome and stainless steel.


Pretty cool. 
Have you ever seen an Edsel?
