Roy Brown Jr., a car designer for Ford Motor whose signature creation, the supposedly futuristic but ultimately ill-fated Edsel, became a synonym for bold, bad ideas not long after it was introduced in 1957, died on Feb. 24 in Michigan. He was 96.
I actually liked those cars. I mowed lawns for a guy in the early seventies that had a 59 El Camino with an Edsel front clip. Cool machines.
