Deriving its name from Edsel Ford, son of company founder Henry Ford, Edsels were developed in an effort to give Ford a fourth brand to gain additional market share from Chrysler and General Motors.

   When did Edsel become a Ford?

   • He next set his sights on Edsel by maneuvering for elimination of the dual wheelbases and separate bodies used for 1958. Instead, Edsels would share the Ford platform and use Ford's inner body structure for 1959. By 1960, Edsels emerged as little more than a Ford with different trim.

   Was the Ford Edsel a failure?

   • The Edsel was a failure from the start, and Ford knew it. After the first year, the automaker drastically reduced its marketing budget for the car. By 1959, the Edsel was on its last legs. Ford made fewer than 3,000 1960 models, including about 70 convertibles, before the final Edsel came off the assembly line in November.

   How old was Edsel at Le Mans?

   • Edsel, 17 at the time, was young enough to be enthralled by the spectacle yet old enough to understand the corporate importance of Ford’s 1-2-3 sweep. (Think Ford v Ferrari.) Henry Ford II was the center of attention at Le Mans in 1966. At the time, his family name was being splashed all over NASCAR.

   How much did Edsel cost Ford?

   • McNamara became the US Secretary of Defense after his career at Ford, and oversaw the escalation of the US military presence in Vietnam. While Edsel would cost Ford over $250 million (in 1958 dollars), the project would see longer-term benefits for the company, as Ford invested over $100 million to build compact cars over the 1960s.
