| The Last Edsel |
Next in line behind this 1960 Villager is a 1960 Ford Galaxie, demonstrating one of the problems with the consistency of Edsel quality. Edsels and Fords were built on the same lines all three model years, and many times the differences would confuse and frustrate assembly workers. In some cases, Ford parts were applied to Edsels, either through mistake or part availability.
This Villager was the last Edsel ever assembled. Like all 1960 Edsels, it was produced in Louisville.

A note in passing. The passing of the
Edsel, that is. On this date in 1959 FoMoCo
stopped cranking them out at their Louisville, Kentucky plant, a mere two years & two months after the line's introduction, & two months & five days after production of the 1960 models had started.
