Wonder if that "07 Edsel" has the "drum style" speedometer & "teletouch shifting"
(push buttons in the middle of the steering wheel)  like the original '58s.  ;D

But Lee's post made my mind wander. A few years ago, there was talk (& some
building) of aftermarket companies re-creating some muscle cars as they were
built in their time. There were some issues I believe, with copyright/patents,
& I haven't heard anymore about it.

But on that subject, what if a multi billionaire that happened to be a railfan
decided to start to do the same? F & E units built as new to original specs,
Alcos, Baldwins, & perhaps steam locos that no original units remain?

Ah, to dream. But if by 1 in zillion chance something happens that makes me
as rich as Bill Gates, well, that will definitely be a top priority project!

I still think they look like the rear end of these cars:

Why are the Long Island diesels so grungy in comparison to almost everything else .
