Considered by many today to be a collector's item, the Edsel was conceived in the auto industry's booming years. By the time the car was released, however, a recession had begun and consumers were looking for economy models rather than big, stylish cars with gadgets like "Teletouch Drive" - a push-button transmission control located in the steering wheel hub of some early Edsels.

Between the car's first model year (1958) and its last (1960), only about 110,000 Edsels were sold, making them quite rare. Today, Edsel enthusiasts have formed clubs and even host national conventions.

Complements the Classic American Car Series.
