Why Was The Ford Edsel Such A Failure In The Late 1950’s. How Many Sold.?


It was not a bad car, my grandparents owned one and were happy with it. The problem was marketing. Ford perceived that their was an open market segment between their mid-priced Mercury and luxury Lincoln lines, sort of like Buick in the GM line. Ford also wanted a dealer network of similar size to GM and Chrysler.
The niche never really existed as the Mercury and Lincoln lines covered that price range. Ford didn’t eliminate high-line Mercurys or lower-line Lincolns, fearing harming their existing dealer network. Most Ford dealers sold Edsels as a companion line to either Mercury or Lincoln. Buyers preferred to purchase cars with a known name and reputation. Also styling was somewhat unfortunate, the “horse collar” grille was ridiculed by some.
Sales figure never reached corporate expectations. The brand was dropped in the 1960 model year. Production figures were about 68,000 for the 1958 model year, 45,000 for 1959 and only 2800 for 1960. Ford cancelled production shortly after introducing the 1960 models.

Is There One Product That Is Intended To Be Sold To Millions, And In Demand, But Not Sold In Stores?


I use this question to challenge multi-level marketers, network marketers, and people who don’t know math, don’t know business.
My point is this : I have never heard of ONE product, that has the demand of millions and isn’t sold in stores.
First criteria is that the seller/manufacturer actually intends to sell it to millions, and not a niche, fad, short term small supply. If a product is in fact intended to be sold to a small audience, fine, they can’t then turn around and claim there is unlimited potential income.
Second criteria is that there is actual demand for the product, and people actually want it. The best test of this, as far as I am aware, is people asking for the product, not the other way around. Stores carry products because they believe there’s demand, stores are less likely to waste time risking to shelve, acquire, or ship products around if there isn’t a good chance it’ll sell.
If the two criteria are met, I have never ever seen a product that isn’t sold in stores. Because if there’s demand, there’s profit, and why wouldn’t any store want a piece of the profit if it was real?
Therefore, isn’t it fair to say that any product intended to be sold to millions and has the demand of millions, can always be found in stores, and any product that fails to be found in stores (including online stores, Amazon, eBay) has no demand, no profits?
(We are assuming it’s a legal product)
Can anybody help me find ONE exception to this rule? Is there any reason a product CAN be sold in stores, or wholesale, but seller DOESN’T WANT TO? I can’t believe that. I am more than happy to believe the stores don’t carry the item because there’s no demand, no profits.
