thank you for all for all of the replies, they are appreciated
So is speeding.
A lot of features on the Edsels were just ahead of their time. But the external styling was hard to take. Insurance was a major reason that they killed performance in 72 and up. Cubic inches down, compression down, cam lift and duration down. Horsepower and torque, down. Big ugly bumper guards. Fewer people wanted the cars that no longer had the performance that they were born with. Look at the production figures each year. At least in California they were supposed to after 25 years, each year drop the smog requirements. They went back to 1973 and changed their minds. That is now the permanent cutoff year for smog. So we are lucky for that at least. Now we can put the performance back that the EPA took away.
