In August 2013, I had the special privilege of meeting with one of these dealers, Mr. M. C. “Sonny” Bledsoe, III.

Nicholas Moran 11/25/16 The American Nightmare: The Ford Edsel Flop and Sputnik Terror With fears mounting that Communism would establish a foothold in the Americas, American officials stood in horror as a communist-led attack on American tariffs in 1958 caused “US prestige [to become] extremely low [in Peru] lately.” Trying to calm the raging storm, Vice President Richard Nixon travelled to Lima, Peru to clear up a “shocking misunderstanding of United States policies.” Hoping to showcase “US prestige,” Nixon decided to parade through the streets of Lima in the car of the future, the Ford Edsel. Instead Nixon was greeted by “2,000 jeering, fist shaking youths and adults,” as Nixon’s Edsel was pelted with “a Communist barrage of…stones, eggs, and oranges.”1 When reporters asked about the incident later, a bruised and bloodied “Nixon joked ‘they were throwing eggs at the car, not me.’”2 Ironically there was some truth to this joke, but the reason why would horrify the Vice President.

  • The Rough Road That Gave the Edsel a Bad Name
    23 October 2011 | voaspecialenglish.com The Rough Road That Gave the Edsel a Bad Name AP A 1959 Edsel Ranger (You can download an MP3 of this story at voaspecialenglish.com) This is the VOA Special English Technology Report. ANNOUNCER: "They'll know you've arrived, when you drive up in the nineteen fifty-eight Edsel -- the car that's truly new, from nameplate to taillight." The Ford Motor Company built several versions of the Edsel from nineteen fifty- eight to nineteen sixty. Ford ended production of the car after just three model years because of weak sales. The Edsel has been described as both a "colossal failure" and "a car ahead of its time." John Heitmann is a history professor at the University of Dayton in Ohio and vice president of the Society for Automotive Historians. JOHN HEITMANN: "It was a car that was controversial in styling. Its horseshoe- shaped grill is still remembered today. The Edsel is kind of the example of the car that never caught on. It's known as the 'disaster from Dearborn.'" 2 Dearborn, Michigan is Ford's headquarters. Professor Heitmann says the biggest problem was that the Edsel arrived around the same time as a recession. He says Americans were beginning to question their values. JOHN HEITMANN: "It's a really curious kind of economic episode. It was actually quite severe but also rather short. But it was at a time when many Americans were reacting to the dinosaur in the driveway. These very heavy, chrome-laden Buicks and other cars -- the fifty-eight Buick had fifty-eight pounds of chrome on it.
