The Edsel Registry
The on-line Edsel Registry gives you a spot on the web where you can tell the world about your car, ranging from how many awards that it's won to how much the salvage yard gave you for it. Any Edsel in any condition - if it's got an Edsel patent plate, people want to know about it.

Latest Edsel News and Edsel Page Updates
You may recall from the Edsel Ford story that Edsel had asked E.T. (Bob) Gregorie to design and build
two "sports cars" for him, based on what Edsel
saw during a trip to Europe in 1932. For years, the fate of the cars was a bit of a
mystery, but this month Brian Ritzow submitted photos of the first one - a boattail
speedster - from a Pomona, California show last year.Coincidentally, news of the second car - an aluminum-bodied sportster that had since been refinished in red - had resurfaced at an RM Auction in March 2008. See the Edsel Ford page for details on how much this car went sold on the auction block.
April 2008
The first week of April saw a cache of rare Edsel "milk bottle toppers" in a couple of online auctions. To get a look at this and other Edsel items that are hardly ever seen, check out the "What's This Edsel Item?" page.
There are also a few updates to the Resurrected Edsels page to check out, and while you're there, check in with Willie's Blog, who's three-year restoration is on schedule to be completed next month.
Get those batteries charged and oil changed... Edsel Season 2008 is upon us!
March 2008
It's alive! Greg Corcoran has successfully lead the development of the new Edsel Owners Club website, www.EdselClub.org, which officially launched on February 19th. The site covers all facets of the club - from local chapters and home-town events to its national publications and annual Edsel convention information, both past and future. Tons of new Edsel information and photos to surf, which not only promotes the club, but shines a new spotlight on our favorite car. Congratulations to Greg and the EOC on a job well done!
In other March news, The Franklin Mint is
at it again, releasing it's fourth version of the popular 1:24 scale 1958 Citation, this time
in Ember Red and Jet Black. Reportedly this die cast collectible hits the stores at the
end of the month, and is limited to 2,500 units.And check out the April edition of Cars & Parts magazine for an article on the Edsel50 celebration in Dearborn last summer.
