1959 Edsel Corsair

This photo of a 1959 Edsel Corsair was taken at Estes-Winn Antique Car Museum on 111 Grovewood Road Asheville, North Carolina.  This car was built by the Ford Motor Company in Detroit, Michigan.  The 'Edsel' was introduced in 1958 season to fill the supposed gap between the Ford and Mercury lines.  As everyone knows Edsel was the the son of Henry Ford.  Despite a great deal of publicity and monies used to promote this car, only 35,000 Edsels found customers during the first six months of production.  I for one always found this car to be quite intriguing.
