jan 1, 1959 - Edsel was a no-go

Description:

Ford had hoped to sell 200,000 of the 1958 model Edsels Ford ended up only producing 68,045. Ford redesigned the car somewhat and removed some features that had not done well on the 58's, but again sales were very low, compared to expectations. Only 47,396 of the 1959 models were produced.
