1957 Edsel

Ford’s Edsel brand debuted in 1957, but the cars shipped in terrible condition—doors wouldn’t close, ropes held bumpers in place, and shifting into reverse sometimes caused the trunk to fly open. A hideous “horse collar” grille didn’t help either. Ford lost $250 million on Edsel, and the brand went out with a whimper in 1959.

  1. How is this a bad car at all? I like old cars, and this is one of the coolest i’ve ever seen.
    At least it’s better than that weird green three-wheeled one.

    My dad guessed that the Edsel would be on this list. He says that these were not great cars(as you can assume).

    if it was fixed up withits problems it would not be half bad

      Yeah but you would probably be more of building a car instead of fixing one.

    “A hideous “horse collar” grille didn’t help either.” It says… Jaguar also does a hideoues oval grille and they seem to be doing just fine.
