1958 Edsel Bermuda Station Wagon

Summary

Ford Motor Company launched its new Edsel line for 1958 with considerable fanfare. The Bermuda was Edsel's top-level station wagon, distinguished by faux wood panels and frames. Edsel was not the hit Ford hoped it would be. The Bermuda wagon was discontinued after just one model year. The Edsel line itself lasted only three model years.
