For 1969, Ford sent orders to Holman Moody to CAN-AM campaign a fuel injected, aluminum, 477CI (429), 700HP, 500FPT with Mario Andretti driving.

  The tough part with using the Edsel wagon taillights is bottom of the tailgate housing sticks out and requires a filler panel to cover up the gap. Looks like he welded something in place?

I've always liked the look of the Edsel wagon's taillights!

I never liked the look of the Edsel wagon's taillights.

I've always liked the look of the Edsel wagon's taillights too!

   I still have one as a wall hanger.....even has the backup light lens.

 

   I think the look of the '57s big round tail lights is hard to beat.
And starting at 1952 think of the many years that Ford used round tail lights on their various models. Passenger cars, T-Birds. Falcons, etc. They almost become something like a Ford trademark.
Them Edsel lights is just weird. Edsel lights on a Ford?! Blasphemy, I say! Blasphemy!
