Notes:
This gorgeous pink 1959 Edsel represents the history of the Ford Motor Company's Somerville Assembly plant that
produced big-series Edsels from July 1958 through March 1959. The Row Hotel is located at
the site of the former Edsel assembly plant, and the history of Assembly Row is featured all
across the community, from car production photos in restaurants to stylized murals, to three
predominant original support beams from the line. But most impressive is this Edsel, which
can often be seen parked in front of the world-class Row Hotel in Somerville, MA.
