The moniker "Edsel" is synonymous with failure. Ford invested $250 million ($2.5 billion in today's money) into the car.

Of the $250 million, $100 million went into 3 plants. This paid off royally just a few years later . . .



22,000 orders on day one . . . 417,000 sold in it's first year. A feat never duplicated. It was those extra plants that allowed Ford to build and sell so many.

FAST and Pure Stock cars get special dispensation, because of the emphasis on Stock Appearance.

We were at Norwalk or Indy last year and one of the Corvette trim rings let go on a mid 9 second pass.

(I could tell by the clips it wasn't an original trim ring!).

Cruising in a 1964 Lemans convertible.

Cool cars in the parking lot.

Yeah, she's real inexperienced .... She's the "shoe' he's the tuner. Unreal performance for a street car...
