The Edsel introduced in 1958, not really successful, only lasting until 1960. For the 1958 model year, Edsel produced four models; The larger Mercury-based Citation and Corsair, and the smaller Ford-based Pacer and Ranger.
For the 1959 model year, Edsel fielded only two series, the Ford-based Ranger and Corsair In 1960 the marque was reduced to the Ranger series.
