Re: [FWDLK] Very interesting "Dodge" ad on eBay



Hey guys let's not beat a dead horse collar to death!

The Edsel was a very good car - albeit an unusual design that unfortunately was introduced during a bad recession. The Edsel Club is a large one with many devoted fans (like ours). The grille design was unique at the time and even Packard used it as an inspiration on a special show car grille I believe called the "Request" followed by another called the "Predictor".

You are right.  That car is as much a 1957 Dodge Peiper as the Edsel was a
runaway success!

The car is really a 1958 Edsel Pacer.  How anyone could mistake that horse
collar grille for anything other than an Edsel is beyond me.  Obviously the
seller's knowledge of cars is next to none.
