It was called the Villager.  There was one model with fake woody wagon
panels that looked very nice.  I know someone with the woody wagon
Villager in fully restored condition.  What's odd about it is he drives
it quite a bit, not stored as a museum piece....and he has very little
trouble with it, the complaint that killed Edsel in the first place.  
Not sure why.  By today's standards, it's HUGE and VERY heavy.  You
stomp on the pedal, though, and those dual quad carbs dump that big V-8
full of gas and it will squall the tires tearing away from that kid in
the honda with the fancy wheels and loud muffler....much to his
dismay...(c;

Er, ah....It helps if you own a Texaco refinery.  Driven easy, I think
it can probably clear 9mpg at 60 on a flat road with no load...(c;

You don't want to drive it far without lots of headroom on your credit
card.

Hey, Apple stock went up today!  First time all week, just like the
market.  NASDAQ had a little gain...speculators buying techs.

I'm riding Wachovia back up, now that Wells Fargo IS going to get the
company, intact.  I got in at $3.82 during yesterday's market crash.  
We're already back up to $5.15 at the close, today!  I'll get about 1200
shares of Wells Fargo if I hang on long enough.....but, I'm not very
loyal, of course.

Watch Apple.  Wall Street loves AAPL and has starting collecting what's
left of its value at $89/share.  It's still rising in the afterhours at
$97.  Sure glad I dumped it at $190 before the crash...(c;

Damned daytraders....
