perspective from someone whose career endured and survived association
with the Edsel. “In the euphoric fifties, Ford Motor Company developed a
line of mid priced cars it hoped would halt the exodus on nouveau
riches to more costly marques manufactured by archival General Motors.
What happened to this effort is the basis for an unusual story of
ambition, jealousies and management errors that brought an early end to a
quarter of a billion dollar project, a product expenditure unheard of
in those days.”
