Some Of History's Most Unique and Unusual Cars and Trucks

Ford Really Just Threw Everything At The Wall Here

When designers at Edsel were creating the 1958 Edsel Corsair, they wanted to make something that no other car company would try to reproduce. Now, they succeeded, however, that was more because nobody wanted to recreate their work than nobody was able to. The Edsel Corsair's front grill was supposed to look futuristic and instead looked like it belonged on a car 30 years its senior. Plus, according to almost everyone who bought it, the thing was a nightmare to drive.

A few years after this failure, Edsel was fully absorbed into the Ford Automotive company. They continued making the Corsair through 1959.
