The 1958 Edsel is the epitome of 1950s American car design excess. Consider these features:

  • Easily recognizable from any angle a block away.
  • Horse collar grille.
  • Two separate front bumpers on either side of grille
  • Rocket two tone paint side panels
  • Automatic transmission push buttons in the middle of the steering wheel
  • Speedometer moves, needle stays in one place.
