Jeffery Cocking, who contributed a never-seen dark blue metallic 58 HT and a bright red 59 HT.
Mike Cowles, who continues to share great images from his unbelievably fabulous collection!

Bob Ellsworth, who has contributed pictures - AND continues to give Edsel Promo Time a good home on Edsel.com!
Steve Engeman, who provided a pic of a nice sahara beige 1960 HT.
Joshua Glenn, who provided a pic of a rare 1958 gray metallic HT.

Jim Ondracek, who helped me out in the 1959 color department.
Jim Peeler, who has contributed mucho great pics. Jim is the proprietor of Smith Motor Company, an extraordinarily creative Edsel site that contains some promo images (and lots, lots more!).
Phil Skinner, who seems to know his promos! Phil has kindly shared his incredible wealth of Edsel promo knowledge.
Dave Truex, who explained the air intake thing to me; ditto with the interior door styling.
Ronald van der Velden, who offered a straightforward procedure for ameliorating that annoying trunk warp that plagues virtually every 1958 Edsel hardtop.
Good ol' eBay, from whose unsuspecting sellers I have lifted the occasional graphic for this site. Of course, eBay is a top source for Edsel promos (and, goodness knows, just about everything else!).
