I can't remember what magazine this is from, as I only have the ad itself. I like the line "and the 1959 cars will prove it". Perhaps, but by the 1960 model year, the Edsel was over. Shame too, because they're a great car. (I know, I owned one.)
Model year 1958 was the first for Edsel, Ford Motor Company’s new stand alone marque intended to be targeted between wide market chasm* between the Ford and Mercury lines.
The Ford Falcon was a model that was introduced for model year 1960 as a compact car in order to address the growing market of small, imported autos such as Volkswagen. The Falcon was successful enough to last through three generations in the US, four generations if the 1970-1/2 model is counted. The Falcon above is of the 2nd Generation, model years 1964-1965.
A compact Edsel model was concurrently being planned for the 1960 model year, its underpinnings practically identical to the Falcon. But due to the dismal sales record of the entire Edsel line since its inception the new 1960 Edsel compact was reassigned to Lincoln-Mercury dealers and sold as the Comet while Ford Motor Company pulled the plug on the Edsel line late in 1959. The Comet wasn’t even labeled as a Mercury until the 1962 model year.
*Just kidding.
Don’t see these often. At the waterfront car show in Everett Washington. The four door was the Villager, two door the Roundup of the no wood versions. All Edsel wagons used a 1957 rather than 1958 Ford wagon body with different trim.
Fewer than 10,000 Edsels survive and they are considered valuable collectors' items. A mint-condition Edsel convertible from any of its three model years may sell for over $100,000.
