	Edsel Ford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edsel Bryant Ford (November 6, 1893 – May 26, 1943), son of Henry Ford, was born in Detroit.
		After becoming president of Ford, Edsel long advocated the introduction of a more modern automobile to replace the Model T, but was repeatedly overruled by his father.
		Edsel Ford strongly believed in giving back to the community and was one of the greatest art benefactors in Detroit history.

	Edsel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ford also ran internal studies to decide on a name, and even dispatched employees to stand outside movie theatres to poll audience as to what their feeling were on several ideas.
		Edsel's automatic transmission interface, named Teletouch was placed in the center of the steering wheel in the car's debut year of 1958.
		Edsels in their first (1958) model year were made in both Mercury and Ford factories; the longer wheelbase models, Citation and Corsair, were produced alongside the Mercury products and the shorter wheelbase models, Pacer and Ranger, were produced alongside the Ford products.

	Edsel
		This represented a new division of Ford alongside Ford, Mercury, Lincoln and Continental.
		Ford saw this as a way to come closer to parity with the other two companies of the Big Three: Chrysler had 10,000 dealers and GM had 16,000.
		Various other problems were cited, including the unpopularity of the Edsel's trademark "horsecollar" grille, which made it stand out from other cars of the period, and reports that there were mechanical flaws in the model originating in the factory, due to lack of quality control and confusion of parts with other Ford models.

		Edsel Bryant Ford (November 6, 1893 - May 26, 1943), son of Henry Ford, was president of Ford Motor Company from 1919 to 1943.
		Edsel also prevailed upon his father to allow the inclusion of hydraulic brakes and a sliding-gear transmission on this model.
		Upon his death at the age of 49, all of Edsel Ford's nonvoting stock was donated through a codicil in his will to the Ford Foundation, which he had founded with his father seven years earlier.

	Edsel Bryant Ford
		Edsel was indulging in a common pastime of the day, one shared by quite a few young men with money, the difference being that Edsel had an unlimited supply of parts.
		Edsel was being manipulated, and he would be manipulated, harassed, tormented and humiliated all the remaining days of his life.
		Edsel's final irony was the fact that the car that was intended by his family to do him honor turned out to be a dismal flop.

	Driving Today
		First, a word about Edsel Ford: He was, by all accounts, a thoroughly decent man, unlikely his often-pigheaded father, and in the vernacular, he was a "car guy" in the best sense, because it is obvious that he loved cars.
		Edsel did spearhead a revival of Ford fortunes, beginning with the Model A and continuing through many well-received Fords and Lincolns of the Thirties, but by 1943 the son of the founder was spent.
		Many expected Ford execs to throw in the towel prior to the 1960 model year, but instead they charged bravely ahead only to precipitate the final embarrassment of pulling the plug on the car -- and the division -- scarcely one month after the '60 models were introduced.

	Edsel Ford
		Edsel was not yet three when, on June 4, 1896, he shared his father's triumph by riding in Henry's first successful car.
		When the courts decided against Henry Ford, he resigned as president of the company, vowing he would form another company with his son and produce a car that would outshine the Model T. In this atmosphere it was Edsel, newly elected president of the company on January 1, 1919, who found a solution.
		Edsel's influence did not end with the Lincoln, for in the mid-twenties he was urging an improvement in Model T. Changes in 1923 and 1925 gave Model T curved surfaces and smoother lines.

	Edsel
		As it was quickly realized that Edsel was failing many of these dealers added Lincoln-Mercury, English Ford and/or Taunus dealerships to their lines with the encouragement of Ford Motor Company.
		The scheduled 1961 Edsel Comet compact car was relabeled the Mercury Comet and sold more cars in its first year than all models of Edsel ever produced.
		Styling touches seen in the Comets sold to the public that allude to being part of the Edsel family of models include the rear tailfins (though canted diagonally), the tail light shape (reminiscent of the original 1958 Edsel) and the front grille (roughly similar to the 1960 Edsels).

	Failure Magazine-Archives-History-The Edsel
		As a result of the Edsel’s impact on Saturn and other auto manufacturers, its legacy may be redefined from one of the most monumental failures of the twentieth century to one of the most instructive.
		Ford, however, was limited to Ford, Mercury and Lincoln, and was distressed that consumers were stepping outside the family between Ford and Mercury.
		Despite the perception that the Edsel was a catastrophic financial failure, Skinner contends that the monetary losses sustained by Ford weren’t overwhelming.
