"What's the grouping noun for a collection of Edsels?
A clutch? A whoop? A murder? A catastrophe? A nightmare?.........?
Hmmmmmmm....?"

Maybe a Grille of Edsels?

I think that is a great answer!

BTW, there was nothing wrong with Edsels with the exception of the steering wheel mounted gear-selector buttons on the auto trans models. I like the '58's, less so the '59's, but the '60's looked great! A '58 Coupe with a 430 Lincoln and a manual trans would be very cool IMHO.

A corral of horse collars?

Yes, the Mark II's were hand built in a special factory and had super high quality features. My dad bought his 4th Lincoln in '55 and we got a special invitation to the introduction of the Mark II at the Beverly Hilton. My mother had no desire to go and he knew I was greatly anticipating this car, so he took me. They had about 5 cars there is different colors, a guy playing music on a grand piano, refreshments, etc. I thought it was very cool. The catch was that the price of the cars was around $12,000 which was about double the cost of a regular Lincoln at the time. My dad wasn't willing to spring for the difference unfortunately.
