On September 4, 1957, Ford unveiled the Edsel in one of the most anticipated car launches in automotive history. While the model became famous as a commercial flop, it found devoted fans like East Texas collector Shamrock Shelley Cleaver, featured in this 1980 episode of The Eyes of Texas.

Sometimes yesterday's "failure" becomes today's collectible.
