1. Longer wheelbase
2. Different rear suspension
3. trim (as anyone can see)
4. Edsels have hood release latches inside car, 60 Fords don't (usually)
They share some (but not all) sheet metal and the windows with the
Fords (and Canadian Meteors), share most (but again, not all)
mechanical parts.
All 1960 Edsels (except a few pilot cars) were built in Louisville
Kentucky.
Not all 1960 Fords were.

Not quite. You got the number right. They did make 76 convertibles
(and 59 station wagons) out of 2,846 units altogether, but they were
produced for about 3 months.
The thing that was a month (actually a month and four days long) was
the time they were sold to the public.
The 1960 Edsel was introduced for sale on October 15 1959, and
discontinued on November 19, 1959. It never made it to its model year.
