The Man Who Loved the Edsel So Much That He Bought Three
Dave Kirkel, 75, of Cary, Ill., a retired plastics-company owner who now owns a model-car store, on his Edsels, as told to A.J. Baime
I like oddball cars, what some people call orphan cars. These are car brands that no longer exist, like Studebaker and Pontiac. I have a collection of unusual stuff and as I was building it, I realized I did not have any cars from Ford Motor Company. What would be more appropriate than an Edsel? Edsel was a division of Ford that only existed for three model years, and an orphan car that is different from just about everything else on the road.
