I was hearing an ad on the radio for Lincolns, and as they rattled off the model names, one sounded familiar – and I made the connection. In 2019 there’s a Lincoln Corsair, but in 1958 and 1959 – there was an Edsel Corsair. I guess sixty years was a safe distance.
Other Edsel model names have since been reused. There was an Edsel Citation (Chevrolet), an Edsel Pacer (American Motors), an Edsel Ranger (Ford), an Edsel Viilager (Mercury), and an Edsel Comet (Mercury).
The Edsel Bermuda and Edsel Roundup are still waiting to be used again as car model names.
