Edsel was a make of car and a new car making division introduced by the Ford Motor Company on September 4, 1957.
The company called that day, "E-Day."
It was named after Henry Ford's son, Edsel Ford.
The Edsel was also one of the biggest failures in history.
It was sold for only three years, ending in 1960.

Ford planned to move their Lincoln brand upmarket and put another make in beneath it.
Design of the Edsel began in 1955 under the name "E-car" which stood for "Experimental car".

Edsel produced four models their first year, the 1958 model year.
These were the large Citation and Corsair, and the smaller, easier to buy Pacer and Ranger.

These were the different body styles offered:
Citation: 2 door hardtop, 4 door sedan, 2 door convertible
Corsair: Same, no convertible
Pacer: 2 door, 4 door, 2 door sedan, 2 door convertible
Ranger: 2 door, 4 door, 2 door sedan, 4 door sedan
The Bermuda, Villager and Roundup were station wagons based on the two smaller Edsel models.
They were basically the same as the 1957-59 Ford wagons.

63,110 Edsels sold the first year, which was the second largest car launch for any brand in history.
Only the Plymouth introduction in 1928 was better, but still not as many cars as Ford hoped would sell.

There were only 2 Edsels in 1959, the Ranger and the Corsair.
Only 44,891 cars were sold in that model year.

Only the Ranger and Villager were produced in 1960.
These were almost exactly like the 1960 Ford cars.
Only 2848 cars were built before the Edsel Motor Division was closed on November 19, 1959.
