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

in those days.”
