I don't ever remember seeing Edsels racing in the USA either? In their short production run, I'd doubt they'd done much?

As far as I'm aware the were no Edsels officially imported in the first place so I don't think any would have raced here. Coming to think about it, the only Edsel racer that I've seen a mention of from when they were built is a '58 Baja racer that I saw in a recent magazine.
