Ford set out to capture the middle market from General Motors in the mid-fifties. Thus the Edsel was born. Built in with other Ford cars the build quality suffered and the cars were delivered to dealers with a list of faults. There were no less than 18 models and a somewhat quirky body design. The Edsel was introduced in 1957, and in 1958 the US economy nose-dived, hitting that section of the market worst. Redesigns in 1959 and 1960 were no help. Now, however, the car is collectible and fun to drive. This is a collection of contemporary road tests, specification and technical data, engineering drivers reports, consumer analysis, history. Models covered include: Ranger, Citation, Station Wagon, Pacer, Corsair, Economy Six, Express V8. 92 pages, 250 illus. SB.
