The Ford Edsel, one of the most recognized and sought-after vehicles in America. For the collector and passionate about the classic vehicle this is undoubtedly a piece full of history, for the ordinary citizen, an object with a unique history that surrounds its design and construction. And it is that in 1957 Ford was personified in the popular proverb: 'at the blacksmith's house, a wooden knife' when Henry Ford II, the grandson of Henry Ford himself, left ten World War II veterans in charge of the project. Although they were experts in the financial sector, they knew little about automobiles.
This is how this vehicle was born, with such great claims and sales expectations, that it was named in honor of Edsel Ford, son of the famous businessman who died during the war. One would think that its manufacture would follow the highest standards but nothing is further from reality: it was designed as if it were a child's assembly and assembled by mechanics who forgot to include key parts for its perfect operation, although of course, this is not the case. of our unit for sale. Such was the disappointment that it generated so much in its design and construction that it entailed one of the greatest economic losses in history for the company, causing it to be discontinued in just two years after its market launch. So much so, that less than six thousand copies are preserved throughout the world; which makes it, in all its safety, a whole piece for any lover of the classic car.
