I heard about this through the LA Times on Instagram, and got to go before they shut down. We were there from 11 to 2 or so, I'm sorry we didn't cross paths. I'm glad we went. Great memories, sad I couldn't experience more of the museum.
Edsel was built in 1958, 1959 and 1960. Production ended early in 1960. The Dodge truck has a Dodge engine, not Continental. Do some more research on the Crosley and if you want to be impressed, find out about the Copper Brazed Engine (not a brilliant design but NOBODY else ever built a block like that).
Those protrusions sticking out of the bumper on that Mercury wagon @11:40 at the time were referred to as "Dagmars" after a woman named Dagmar who was a regular on one of the talk shows back in the '50s. Dagmar was, how shall I put it, very well endowed. 😉
Crosley, I believe , was a Chicago company that originally made home appliances. The narrow aspect of the car was very much functional. It had to be that thin to fit it out the factory doors. Growing up in Chicago in the 60s I actually saw a few on the streets.
No. Crosley is based in Cincinnati, Ohio. He also made the shortwave "Voice of America" shortwave station possible in WWII. The Reds play in the stadium. Very versatile innovator.
Edsel failed because it was positioned between Lincoln and Mercury with only a few hundred dollars separating them with no real differentiation reason for it to exist.

Never knew this place existed. Thanks for sharing.

This is why I am an annual member at my local auto museum.
Thank you for making this video! 🤗

DANG! I LIVE HERE AND DONT THINK I EVER HEARD OF THIS PLACE.

I don't live close so I've never been, but sad to see it go. Hopefully the cars find good responsible owners who will preserve them properly.
That Fairlane appeared to be a Skyliner.
Correct!

Those bumper "whatevers" are called "Dagmars", inspired by a famous actress from back in the day. You'll figure it out... 😆
I hope these cars go to qualified owners or other museums who will share them with the world
Just go nethercutt museum...all restored and driven once a month...free to get in

The Edsel had competition with the new for '58' , 4 seat , T-bird. Which sold twice as many as '57'.
33 years old? David…
...what?

First comment! Sad to see these fall. I try to support every auto museum I can
The ford jeep would have a u shaped crossmember , not a square one.
From the front of the vehicle, it looks like a rectangular section.
I wonder if Jay Leno snapped up any of these vehicles?
but who did let the dogs out?
