In February of 1959, Ford Motor Company executives sent a letter to the remaining Edsel dealerships expressing their confidence in the Edsel line, and that the all new 1960 model would be introduced in October. Even though research had indicated that Edsel could not make it through another year with the negative publicity that surrounded the name, Ford decided to give the car one last chance.
To keep costs as low as possible, as well as to drop the signature "horsecollar" look, the 1960 Edsel shared
1960 Fordthe same mechanics and body style as the 1960 Ford Fairlane series. The trim was modified to distinguish them - the Edsel's grille had an hourglass center (which was very reminiscent of the 1959 Pontiac Bonneville) and distinctive vertical taillights that were raised off of the rear deck. A single chrome spear tapered from the front wheelwell to the rear bumper.
Even though the car was advertised as "New - Nifty - Thrifty", sales of the Edsel of 1960 never materialized. As production was being cut back in the factory, the few remaining Edsel-only dealerships either terminated their status or became dual franchises with Lincoln/Mercury.
Just over a month after it's introduction, the Edsel was discontinued.
