I see your point too Karl,,but since Edsel ford died maybe 15 yrs before the FE motor,,I just cant see it,,
another thing to ponder,,there is no such car as a "ford edsel",it is like saying ford lincoln,edsel was a whole other car line,given the name Edsel as a tribute to the late son,,and was to be another division,,ford dealers didnt sell edsels,,unless they became edsel dealers too,,and ford sales info did not include Edsels,,when edsel went belly up,,a great many dealerships became mercury dealers ,,thats why ford upped mercury production and develpment in the early 60's,to feed and keep those dealers.
Tk wow this is fun,,hahah
