What -- or who -- killed the Edsel?
Although "Edsel" has come to symbolize all manner of crap-tastic products, Joe Sherlock has a bone to pick with self-professed car mavens who tout the conventional wisdom that Ford's 1950s newcomer was a lousy auto.
So, how to explain the failure of the Edsel marque, named for Henry Ford's dead son? Sherlock points the finger at a man responsible for mayhem everywhere -- and I do mean everywhere -- he's worked over the last 5 decades: Robert McNamara.
