艾德賽爾Citation敞篷車(chē)

????它是艾德賽爾系列中的佼佼者,。不過(guò)它的散熱格柵形如馬的項(xiàng)圈,，因此深受詬病，評(píng)論人士們稱(chēng)這款轎車(chē)看起來(lái)就像“一臺(tái)奧爾茲（Oldsmobile）牌汽車(chē)嘴里叼著一顆檸檬”,。不過(guò)這款車(chē)的尾部采取了反尾鰭的尾燈設(shè)計(jì),，尾燈一直貫穿了整個(gè)后備箱蓋，相比之下,，就連原本難看的散熱格柵也變得美觀起來(lái),。

????再說(shuō)說(shuō)車(chē)的內(nèi)部。這款轎車(chē)采用了按鍵式的檔位控制,，檔位被整合進(jìn)了方向盤(pán)輪彀里——這又是一個(gè)沒(méi)有人肯去模仿的設(shè)計(jì),，因?yàn)轳{駛員老是分不清哪個(gè)是檔位，哪個(gè)是喇叭,。Citation轎車(chē)的品味之差可謂空前絕后,。福特推出1959年版之后不久便果斷地終結(jié)了艾德賽爾這個(gè)品牌。

Edsel Citation convertible

????The top-of-the-line Edsel, it bore the notorious "horse-collar" grille that critics said resembled "an Oldsmobile sucking on a lemon." Actually, the grille looked tasteful compared to the anti-tailfin taillights that stretched all the way across the trunk lid.

????Inside, the push-button transmission control was located inside the steering-wheel hub -- another rarely imitated design feature because drivers confused it with the horn. The Citation is the landmark of bad taste. Ford put Edsel out of its misery shortly after the start of the 1959 model year
