(PICS) Danbury's somewhat forgotten '58 Edsel Bermuda wagon
This model was issued 23 years ago (1997) and although it's seldom seen, it was quite detailed for its time.
In almost all original photos of this model, including DM's own literature, the center 'horse collar' of the grille has been pushed back unnaturally. Perhaps the original styrofoam packaging
was the culprit, but whatever the reason, it was easy to push forward to its rightful position.
Enjoy the flashback.

The interior is a little vibrant (the shade of blue), but IMO the blue looks far more natural then a red station wagon especially being a wagon! Look for one and take the plunge.

These Were Attractive in Many Ways
And innovative for their time. They were just the wrong car at the wrong time. To many factors were working against this creation.
