1958 Edsel Citation Four-Door Hardtop Sedan
01
Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company introduced a new mid-priced brand, to better compete with General Motors and Chrysler, for 1958. Edsel came in four separate series. The top-of-the-line Citation featured special molding and medallions, and it was available with two- or three-tone paint. The four-door hardtop sedan started at $3,580. Edsel was not a success. Ford discontinued the brand after the 1960 model year.
