Re: Henry and Edsel
Rotorwrench makes me think of something else. I guess Mercury was a little company that made modifications to a couple of car lines back in the day. Kinda like what Don Yenko did. Edsel liked the idea of offering a Ford that more more of a marquis offering, yet still Ford. I guess Edsel was the one behind the buy proposal for Mercury. I think Mercury at that time was based on Cincinatti, or Louisville, I can't remember.
When you think about it GM did something similar - Fisher Body was owned by the Fisher brothers...
