I thought it was because they were as horny and repressed as Victorians and though it looked like a woman with her legs spread.

Erulisse posted:I'm still uncertain why they failed. This radiator grille looks...rad A '56 Cadillac ran into a '59 Edsel. Nine months later, a Nash Metropolitan was born. The Edsel failed because there was no market for it. It was a large, top-endish car that came out in a recession when everybody wanted smaller cars. It wasn't a bad car, it was equivalent to everything else on the market in terms of quality and features. It wasn't sufficiently different from the rest of the Ford lineup to justify its existence. Ultimately, it was an exercise in marketing hubris. Ford thought they could convince people to buy anything they felt like making. They committed to making millions of them, and people collectively said, "meh." The jokes started when Ford started going berserk trying to get rid of them and people started laughing at their desperation.

This radiator grille looks...rad The looks I dont think had that much to do with Edsel's failure, it was mostly poorly positioned product launched at the wrong time and with bad mother company support. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edsel#Edsel%27s_failure
