Hi Juan, Happy to read you enjoy this "great car" :-) You're welcome, Lou

The best part of the Edsel were the engine choices as the E475 410 cid engine was a step up from the 361.. What would have made a cool Muscle car would have been the 430 Super Marauder engine with 400 hp would have been the Hot Rod Eddy... Cool cars all around...

Oversæt

I RODE IN A 58 CITATION IN THE 60,S THE OWNER SAID IT HAD A 410 CUBIC INCH ENGINE I TOO THOUGHT THE CITATION WAS THE TOP OF THE LINE I,LL HAVE TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON THAT ENGINE SIZE I THINK THE 56 LINCOLN HAD A 361 CUBIC INCH !....////

@@billmiller119 The E475 or the 410 was an MEL block engine and the E400 or the 361 was an FE block like the 332 and the 352.. The 56 Lincoln had a 368 cid which was a last year Y block that was used until 1957 in the Lincolns and the Mercury Turn Pike Cruisers...

Jeffrey Cruz agreed, whilst the rear end of a 58' Edsel reminds me of the 59' Impala!

Nice comparison :-)

But both, put the TR in the trunk for a spare....

Hi Thomas Simmons, Glad you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Cars have an amazing way of getting better looking with age. Lou

I'll need some help on translation, however I hope this means you enjoy this car & video :-)

@@loucostabile He says this is a great car. He expresses gratitude all the car owners who save and store those old vehicles, and thanks you for the captivating video.

Thank you for viewing and sharing your thoughts.

Interestingly, my thought also....I actually sort of stayed away from Edsel( though around NOBLE/ KOSCIUSKO/ Whitley Counties in Indiana: road salt, etc ate a lot of cars up. I went from through FORDS 54 ( with 57 Engine,etc), 56 Fairlane ( Suoer nice,TBIRD ENGINE),61 Convertible 352/automatic, a piece a junk, and 66 GALAXIE 500 XL /4 SPD/352( nice), etc.Anyways, good videos: thanks.

@@opera93 They did have terrible rust problems. No doubt about that.

Hi Bill, Thank you for sharing the commercial :-) NICE! Lou

@@loucostabile awesome work as always Lou, your presentations let the viewers decide, every detail of the automobile is displayed. Beautiful camera work and the color comes through true and lighting techniques are spot on. As far as this car. The 59 was not nearly as unique as the 58 as bean counters were attempting styling cues to address disappointing sales numbers. But you don’t just start changing the Mona Lisa with a committee approach.

Thank you for viewing and sharing.

Hi Olle Haggman, Glad you enjoyed the looks of this one :-) Lou

Hey RICK Oe, I should be ok with cars coming up, however that 1962 Dodge sounds like a memorable car. Thanks for keeping an eye out for cool cars, Lou

Hi Jimbob, Thank you for sharing your knowledge of this one :-) Appreciate the kind words, Lou

Hi Steve Boros, I think so, however maybe a Viewer with knowledge can clear this up for Steve & I? Lou

The Citation model was built in 1958 only. Once Ford realized that Edsels were not selling they dropped the most expensive models including the Citation and Bermuda wagon (which is a thing of beauty!).

The Citation name did return on Chevrolet's 1980 front wheel drive compact. But, as the saying goes, that's a whole different story! _(12/26/2022)_

Good one for sure :-)

Hi steeldan dansteely, Well I check with Buz and he said they are not leather seats, and he's not aware of leather seats being offered in an Edsel. Lou

@@loucostabile Much obliged, Lou. I love that you bothered to reply and I gotta say that your channel keeps me going from time to time when I'm not necessarily on my 'A' game and I need something to kick back with and chill for awhile. My Car Story is about as good as RU-vid gets, brother.

Hmmm, interesting.

NICE !

There were so many great looking cars back then, however sometimes a little negative press and the reputation was damaged. I agree a cool looking car for sure. Thank you for sharing, Lou

Thank you for viewing and sharing.

Nice :-)

Hi Mark, Did the Edsel come as a station wagon? Yes. Pls advise thanks when where Edsels made? Detroit Why where they a commercial Flop? It was shared the front grill looked like someone sucking a lemon, and people didn't buy them.

Well said :-) A fun one to video and share, Lou

Not at first, but we discuss that toward the end of the video.

Hmmm, Interesting points. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

Not sure.

@@loucostabile Thanks Lou. Still enjoy your videos of the older cars with myself being a 78 year old "car kind of guy".

Hi Gene978, Agreed, super pretty car. It's been a month since I've been able to add cars to the Channel so I was looking forward to this trip. There will be many more to video :-) You're welcome and thank you for such a wonderful comment. Lou

Hi Kramden, I think so too. Lou

:-)

Not sure. Hoping a Viewer can share knowledge.

Hi Lynx Star Automotive, The older the car gets, the better looking it becomes, Lou

James I don't like the name either. It was chosen by the Ford brothers as a sort of memorial to their late father Edsel Ford, son of Henry Ford. I was by all means a great car. They ran well, rode well. Dependable....but yes Edsel was an ugly name and plenty of people hated that grill. The 1960 was the prettiest but it was too late. Edsel was doomed before that.

My first car was a '59 Ranger. I have a special affection for them, but there was definitely more bad news for the car than just the name. Firstly Ford lied about the car for nearly an entire year before it came out.. "different in every way" and the public knew it was just another 5,000 pound Ford, sucking a lemon. They said it was revolutionary, but the only thing new was the pushbutton transmission in 1958 only, because it didn't work. The assembly workers hated it because every few cars they made in the line was an Edsel and it threw all their assembly tools and methods off, they wanted more pay to put it together because it took more time, and they deliberately did poor work putting it together, they hated it. Right when it came out the economy was in recession, and people were looking for more economical cars, thus the Falcon took off like wildfire. The Edsel was nothing but a disappointment for everyone. the consumer, the investors, the dealers, the assembly workers, the investors and the Ford Motor Company.. The car was a complete loser for everyone. Mine was a four door with a 223 six and a two speed Ford-0 Matic, the absolute slowest car I've ever driven, it actually would not climb some hills, it was a COW. Even so, I would love to have another some day!

What a shame. Hell the push button tranny wasn't new Chrysler products had them and so did Packard. Still like the car! I would def not want a car that big with a 6 in it.

The worst thing was the two speed auto. Lugging and over-revving were the two speeds. My uncle said the speeds were slow, and slower.

Sad especially in an ear of tri powers and semis
