@EDSEL
Well, I decided to build a small tribute page to the very unusual, and
indeed, rather infamous car my dad had/has. Currently, the 59 Pacer
convertible is in Ontario and not drivable, although it is my belief that
given a bit of work by an knowledgeable person, this could be one more car
put back on the road to join the Edselmania sweeping the nation. The
picture below closely resembles the Edsel, however, this one would be all
black, and as mentioned, a ragtop.
Here are the specs for the Edsel my dad had
The car in question was acquired by my father in high school when it
was known as rather a lemon. The Edsel was a line set up by Edsel Ford
and hailed as the car that every family wanted. They did background work
and filled it with desired features for the masses, and couldn't give the
things away! You may remember an episode of the Simpsons where Homer
designs his dream car by invitation of a major manufacturer, only to turn
out an unworkable, rather ugly model. Edsel owners and lovers everywhere
recognized this to be a parody of their beloved automobile.
Someday I would like to have the Edsel restored as a fun project.
Since I am moving to Toronto, this may easier now than in the past. But I
am not really in the financial postion to do so, and since I am working on
my CA, I don't really have the time. So it will have to wait, beckoning
for someone to put it back in its glory on the highways of freedom!
Below, I have listed some quality Ford Edsel sites, please check them
out to learn all about this interesting car - there are lots of pictures
and data included!
