    Saw it in person at the Carlisle All Ford Nationals several years ago. It was in one of the Featured Display Buildings.

    How can you see it and not unsee it?

    I am old enough to remember the original 1958-1959 Edsels when they were introduced. At that time, I didn't like the design at all. However, now each year at Carlisle, I am fascinated by the line of 12-15 Edsels on the Showfield in all of their 2-tone and 3-tone glory. 60 years makes a big difference. The idea of a 2008 Edsel was quite interesting. I even got several pics of a 1 of a kind classic that year. It still looks like "A Ford sucking on a Lemon" ... but it's really looks like a new Edsel if they were still being made. Totally better than a CV Marauder Clone.

    I remember seeing pictures of this car years ago...although I thought it was blue at the time. Either way, someone went to a lot of trouble and it looks like it's very well done.

    Honestly, I've seen worse. The roof is a major error.

    I was 15 when the Edsel was introduced. A major showroom was opened within walking distance of our neighborhood. My uncle (lived in another town) bought one. I think it was a 59.

    Interesting, to say the least. What I would like to know is how/where he got the rear cover embossed...

    I agree, and yet I can't help but think...

    What a waste of time and money

    Looks odd, but not good

    Reminds me of those gawd awful kits to make a modern Corvette look like a 50s Vette....

    THAT is an excellent question. It would be nice to see if they could emboss "Marauder" on CV bumper covers, since real ones are like hen's teeth.

    I agree. Creator gets an 'A' for imagination! My only complaint is it doesn't have a Terminator motor...
