Ahhhh the old "Boston is racist" argument. Didn't know Dennis Johnson and Robert Parrish were white. Being white must have been what killed Len BIas and Reggie Lewis, too. Damn white Celtics in the 80's. Beating great black Lakers superstars such as Kurt Rambus, Chuck Nevitt and Mitch Kupchak. Who happened to swing a…

I think it was because the used one is available and a new one will take you four years to get. Like anything else, if you want it right now, it'll cost you.

Demand exists in a communist economy. Supply... Not so much.

I think you missed the point. A heavily used jet is much cheaper than a brand new one. The new trabants had to be sold at the price dictated by the USSR, the used ones were sold at market price. The market price for a used one was higher than the artificially set price for the brand new one. The market price for a…

Yep. Supply and demand exist even in a communist society—especially in a communist society.

@62imperialcrown: Thank you, that is greatly appreciated!

@lilwillie: Oh, yes - from Willie's Repair Blog. The restoration you guys did was truly heroic!

@62imperialcrown:

I liked the edsel

Here's mine - anybody else gonna represent?

@$kaycog: I do too. But some things must exist as one-offs.

@Novaload: I think it's hilarious. I like it.

@parkave231: I'd hit it.... with a golf club.

@$kaycog: Thank god!

So by 1960 Edsel was scrambling over to the 1960 Galaxie/Sunliner, main difference being the tail lights. The 60 Fords seem really rare, ditto 60 Mercuries (though of course Murliee found a pink Mercury wagon on Alameda. With a for sale sign, no less.

@$kaycog: WTF Mate?

Not many Edsel Digger/Backhoes were made........actually, just one.

um, the OP does know that the Plymouth Fury that "Christine" was based on was a '58.... right? I mean yeah '57-'58 look almost the same, but '58s had a slightly different lower grille, side trim, headlights, etc.

Quite a find indeed, the Edsel Bermuda was easily the Chrysler Town & Country of its day- only much less successful.
