Jay Drives In A 1958 Edsel Roundup With Martha Stewart - Jay Leno's Garage

That piece of very fragile china has made it through at least 300 years (17th century!). It's not about the money, its the stewardship. This "home" of hers is more like a museum. Why does she still have Mrs. Ford's linens in the very cool cabinet?

Most of Edsels problems were with how they were marketed at the time, nowadays without that, they are pretty ok vintage cars.

🧨 The Juan Valdez of pine needles‼️ Jay Leno’s mind is so quick and his comedic timing is still impeccable. Hilarious! And what a fantastic and informative video. The clips of the Ford Motor Company, Edsel Ford & the other content incorporated into this video make it one of the best in the “special field trip edition” category of Jay Leno’s Garage. I never linked Jay with Martha Stewart previously, but both really are incredibly hardworking, self-made, American success stories.

My father had an Edsel Corsair, I don't remember the year (1959?). I loved and still love that car. It was so far ahead of its time. The only problem he had with it was with the mechanics at the dealer's garage. For whatever reason (a five-year-old would not have known) they screwed up an oil change and the transmission was trashed. My father then decided to put a much bigger engine in it, at the dealer's expense. It was a Jag killer. It came in green and white paint. I remember him asking me if I liked the car; I said I hated the color. The car was repainted in solid black. It never failed to start (unlike his Buicks) and never failed to run (unlike his Chryslers). Wish I had it today. The car is long gone (lost in a street racing accident after he sold it), but I found the spare key many years ago, and still keep it on my keychain.

I know a lawyer with an Edsal wagon almost exactly like that. I'm shocked you didn't show us the fishing pole holder behind the tail lights. You open up the tail lights and a trough would slide out and you could put a few fishing poles in it.. I think his is more of a lighter pink color, it's been 25 years. He kept it in a heated garage and it was like brand new then and I'm sure it's still around.

What was funny for me was her saying the pine needles came from another part of Maine. She is so right, like just down the road. Even though her property is mainly spruce, one is never very far from pine trees in Maine, which is the pine tree state. Within 1 hour I could deliver a load of pine needles to her estate and I didn't even collect the pine needles yet.
