Oh dear! Please don't call them "Ford Edsels", there is no such thing as a Ford Edsel, they were and are just Edsels. Edsel was a division of the Ford Motor Company, just like Lincoln or Mercury, but with worse engineering and awful market timing.
You'd never say "General Motors Chevrolet" or "Chrysler Corporation Plymouth" its redundant. I love you sight and the features, just avoid the "Ford Edsel" trap.
Sorry & thanks!
I will correct the post.
Please let me know if I run off course with my facts or general automotive knowledge. I want to get it right and welcome your insight.

Just hit a minor nerve there Jody and I'm sorry if I came across as a jerk/know it all in my comment. I guess as an Edsel owner(58,59,60), I can get a little protective of my preferred make and four wheeled "monuments to failure".
You have a great thing going here and I look forward eagerly to every update. Have a super day and take care.
