Conceived in boom times and launched in a depressed market, the Edsel was handicapped from the start. Named in honor of Henry Ford’s only son, the Edsel became a lightning rod for criticism from the media, and therefore only lasted for 3 years before the name disappeared from the marketplace due to sales that were far below corporate expectations. This dusty rose and black 1958 Edsel has a black and white interior, belongs to Don McCullen of Ocala, and is one of 1,876 Pacer convertibles ever produced. It has a 361 cubic inch V-8 engine, push buttons for the "Teletouch Drive" automatic transmission located in the steering wheel’s hub, a carousel speedometer, factory tach, and the first cruise control offering to the public.
