Edsel 1958 Edsel Citation automobile press photo new model Ford factory photo

Description

A superb and rare photo made of the Edsel automobile.
Edsel
is an
automobile
marque
that was planned, developed, and manufactured by the
Ford Motor Company
for model years 1958 thru 1960. With the Edsel, Ford had expected to make significant inroads into the market share of both General Motors and Chrysler and close the gap between itself and GM in the domestic American automotive market. Ford invested heavily in a yearlong teaser campaign leading consumers to believe that the Edsel was the car of the future – an expectation it failed to meet. After it was unveiled to the public, it was considered to be unattractive, overpriced, and overhyped. The Edsel never gained popularity with contemporary American car buyers and sold poorly. The Ford Motor Company lost 0 million on the Edsel's development, manufacturing, and marketing.
The very name "Edsel" became a popular symbol for a commercial failure
This is a very nice and very rare
non period
photo that reflects a wonderful era of automotive history in a wonderful way.  This is your rare chance to own this photo, therefore it is printed in a nice large format of ca. 8" x 10" (ca. 20 x 26 cm).  It makes it perfectly suitable for framing.
