The 1958 Ford Edsel --

Named after Henry Ford's son, Edsel, who died at the age of 49 in 1943.� Edsel was envisioned to be an entirely different division of the Ford Motor Company.� Perhaps, it could have been the Saturn of it's day.� Unfortunately, the Edsel was released in the midst of a recession and it's unusual styling turned off many buyers.� Now, it is known as one of the great marketing disasters of all time.� This model is based upon an example owned by the� Allan Park, Michigan, police department.

The 1961(?) Ford Galaxie --

This is a
Johnny Lightning(TM) model of the actual patrol car used by Sheriff Andy Taylor and Deputy Barney Fife in one of the greatest TV shows in history--the Andy Griffith Show. The Ford Galaxie was made from 1959 through 1974 and was a wonderful American muscle car.� Ford Motor Company provided a new model for each year of the show's production.� This example appears to be a 1961 Ford Galaxie and probably had the 292 cubic inch engine.
