This is a 1958 Edsel Pacer. Only 2,846 Edsels were made by Ford before shutting down the Edsel model.

Good captures. But I'm sorry to say that model was one ugly automobile.
That's the reason Ford only made 2,846 units. Nobody wanted them.

I always liked Edsels, and they certainly were not as ugly as a ’59 Chevy.

Love the style, but not that color. Edsel offered a Citation and Pacer (as you mentioned) model. Later those names would be on Chevrolet and AMC failures.

Agree with you on the looks but it better than the 1960 model that I posted. Thanks for your comment Soul Dr.

I believe they were named after one of Ford's sons. Thanks for your comment John.

Ford also offered one named "Ranger" Mister H. Thanks for viewing and commenting.

Great shots but, as you note, one ugly automobile. I think the ugliest car race is between the Edsel and the Daimler SP250 although the Pontiac Aztek and some Borgward models are certainly in the race.

Thanks for your comments cdayton. Have to agree, not an attractive vehicle. The Pontiac Aztek certainly is in that group!

The Pontiac Aztek was actually built by Yugo for exporting to third world countries. That is a scientific fact.

We had a '59 pacer hardtop. I loved that car. It was powder blue with a Robin's egg blue roof. My dad's brother was an exec. with Ford ant told my dad to get rid of it. It was an attention getter.
