Location: Parts Unknown | imfinlay - 2011-04-30 6:36 AM Lots more Edsels in that last set than I ever expected to see. Were they as unpopular as we're often led to believe? ******************************************** I missed the original Edsel sales period, but judging by how many were on the road in the 60's and 70's and how many survive today, I would say that either they sold a lot of them, or people immediately realized the novelty and saved them. Where I grew up, a neighbor up the road named Mr. Casper had a yard full of them. No less than a dozen. This was 1969 to about 1980. By then I out and on my own. Not sure what happened to them. I remember he had a pair of turquoise "Round Up" two-door wagons with the wood side treatment in the lot. Now there is a car you never see, even at an Edsel meet ! Hope they were saved. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1172 Location: Georgia | The 'boomerang' taillight treatment on the Edsel wagons were their best feature! Those are some terrific cards, Matt. The Gillette Motel is fantastic, you gotta love the wall-to-wall carpet! Here are two more photos, the second one featuring the fabulous '61 Plymouth Suburban, but even more odd is the Studebaker Lark taxi!

Location: Parts Unknown | Dave, Can you post locations for these pix if you have them, please ? This last one has me scratching my head. I am going to guess it is Portland, O. by the Mt. Hood Cafe. I wanted to immediately jump to it being Mount Hood, O., but I don't think that little town has ever supported a Yellow Cab outfit. The bridge looks typical of several up and down the river, but the Mount Hood bridge is a high bridge. and the town itself is perched on a pretty steep hill. I then thought "maybe The Dalles?", but that area never had a bridge like this that I remember. So, I am back to Portland on a very unusual sunny day with a background that SHOULD have some hills in it, but maybe foxed out due to lighting conditions ? Cool pic, all the same. | ||

The one above is Marshall, MI (?), while the one on the previous page is labeled Napoleon, O. | ||

Exner Expert 19,174 posts. Neil passed away 18 Sep 2015. You will be missed, Neil! Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | Thord, go back and look at that dove gray 55 Dodge vert..... Dodge didn't build any 1955 Royal convertibles, IIRC. What IS it; a CRL without the fin caps? Brent: went back and looked at the two 59 Farts you referenced....one is a 2-dr HT with MoPar-like quarter trim; the other guy is a 2-dr sedan, with quarter panel 'gills'. Close, but no Proximity-grenade effect. | ||

Location: Parts Unknown | Glad you ran recon, Neil. I can hardly bear to look at those ugly POS's after owning a turquoise Galaxie (wife's car) just like them. Gives me anger fits still after all these years. What an utter POS car. One day, I am going to sit down and really think this through and develop and opinion on these. | ||
