 CONT: The Edsel mounted on the pole at Luke Fuchs used car lot is a  1959 model. In a later scene where it is brought down from the pole  (to orchestrate the "death" of Luke Fuchs) it is seen crashing into  a power station. But the car so careening into the power station is  actually a 1958 Edsel. You can also tell its a 58 when they are  loading Lukes body into the front passenger seat.
