  • I study car companies very closely as an investor. This story is actually extremely relevant today, and describes very well the pitfalls of big companies hiring too many MBAs, beurocracy, and short term pandering to shareholders that ruins companies long term. It's what is so fascinating about Tesla, and part of why they are worth more than the next 5 automotive companies combined. Today Tesla is still a "divisive" company, but that is simply because most people have no idea what they are talking about, but this podcast litterally outlines why Tesla will be the world's largest automaker, and the pitfalls that are trapping the legacy OEMs and preventing them from adapting.

About the grille, not a huge fan, though I do agree with the designers about trying to differentiate it from other Detroit cars, and similar to European cars like Rolls Royce, Mercedes, Alfa Romeo as mentioned. I think Jeremy Clarkson has also described the Edsel grille as looking like a vagina.

  • It may not have been successful but the Edsel is in my opinion not a bad car at all. I like the design and the FE engines are great. FE stands for FordEdsel and they were used from 1958 till 1974 in trucks ( not sure when they stopped putting them in passenger cars). They were used in everything from trucks, muscle cars ( like the bullit mustang) and even racing ( like winning lemans). I’ve heard there were a few issues with the push button system inside of the steering wheel, I think they were electric? unlike for example Mopar which had better mechanical systems ( I own a couple of push button Desotos myself). I nearly bought a 58 Edsel a couple of years ago, it was a 4 door hard top with a 410 FE. A Edsel is definitely a bucket list car for me ( I collect unique cars that no one wants 😂, like Desotos)
