BTW ich schau mal nach, ob ich die Heiress bei meinen alten Sachen finde. Die sind ja dank extensiver Um- und Aufräumarbeiten wieder in greifbare Nähe gerückt. BBBBBB

Hello.

Ah I well remember when the Edsel came to town. It was the car eveyorne was waiting for. Until they saw it. There were some extraordinarily crude jokes relating to the Edsel's appearance. I personally didn't have a problem with its looks, but I only knew one person who actually owned one (briefly) and they had constant problems with it. They claimed it spent more time in the "shop" being repaired than on the road. They only kept it about a year. The FORD dealer was reluctant to take it as a trade in.I think it's awesome that you have photographs of the same exact car covering different "stages" of the car's life. It doesn't appear that time and weather have been kind to it, but maybe it feels lucky to have not been smashed into a pancake like most of its brothers and sisters. Your Edsel is, by comparison, a survivor!
