Yep.....the Edsel Citation. A little over two decades later, Chevy would borrow the Citation name for a poorly-engineeed compact car that sold 800,000 units the first year (1980) but by mid-decade, like the Edsels, became an utter failure.

The Winnah! Yes, an 06 STSV that I bought from retired NHRA TF champion Eddie Hill. He sold it because his wife bought him a BiTurbo Mercedes for his 80th birthday. That man loves speed. Here’s some of the cars in his garage. He sold the Lola which was the same Lola in the movie THX1130 that Duvall drove but was white in the movie.

Mid-1950s Oldsmobile Holiday convertible.

Nice color….although two-tones were also popular back then.

Hint- I thought it was an old Toyota but it's not.

That is an old Volvo - I'd guess something in the 900 series based on the tail lights (850 had similar styling but different tail lights I believe).
