Did I hear this correctly???
On todays early news, stated that Ford is to auction two new cars being a 1946 to 48 station wagon and a Bermuda Edsel station wagon. New never
run or driven from their museum. I was deleting emails not watching, but I heard it on the TV.. A promotion by Edsel Ford great great grandson from Henry. I didn't know till today there is an Edsel "is he Henry II's son???? |

Try this link. I expect they will hammer at well over 100K due to their provenance. Essentially trailer queens and/or museum pieces! JMHO. Bill |

It's Edsel Ford II and yes, he is the son of Henry Ford II. And if you read the link in #2 above you will note that neither is new and both have been modified to a considerable extent. (That doesn't mean that they aren't nice cars with a distinctive provenance.)

Yep, and both are resto-mods. At least the woodie has a Ford engine to replace the flathead.

"This pair of handsome cars carries the gravitas of being owned by an icon of the American automotive industry."
I wouldn't call Edsel Ford II an, "icon of the American automotive history." His namesake, on the other hand, would be such a person. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: Did I hear this correctly???
I saw the Edsel Wagon some years back at Henry Ford Village. You would not believe how great that car looks !! Just plain beautiful !
Back in my Ford days...I worked with Jack Roush for a short time at the old Engine & Foundry Division at Ford. That is one crusty old guy !! Mike |
