Or as Stephen Pile says in the book of heroic failures :
Although it was unpopular from the start, the car’s popularity waned. A business report of the time compared the Edsel sales chart with a ski terribly dangerous. He added further that there had been only one case of theft of an Edsel, it was known.
The Edsel is highly coveted by collectors because of its reputation as one of the ugliest cars available. There are only 6,000 Edsels.
