Struck a cruel blow shortly before his eightieth birthday by the death of his only son, Edsel Ford, on May 26, 1943, Mr. Ford unfalteringly returned to the presidency of the Ford Motor Company, which he had yielded to his son twenty-four years previously.
The name Edsel has become synonymous with disaster and failure based on the short three model year run that nearly bankrupted Ford Motor Company in the late '50s. Ford invested approximately $250 million in 1958 dollars in the development of the Edsel.
