The Southlanders Edsel club invite all Edsel enthusiasts to join them
in a Labor Day weekend 2007 celebration of the 50th anniversary of
E-Day (which, as we all know was on Tuesday, September 4, 1957).
The 1957 calendar is the same as the 2007 one.
This will be a multi-day event (Friday, Saturday, into Sunday, but
not including Monday, leading up to the actual 50th anniversary of
E-Day) in the Glendale/Burbank area of Los Angeles.
It is being designed so that out of town guests can fly into the
Burbank airport to attend it (rather than the more crowded LAX).
Plans include a tour of sites where Edsel dealerships once stood,
parts sales (but probably not a formal auction), banquet with
entertainment, and an orphan car show (on Saturday morning).
If one is happening, participants may also be able to attend a taping
of the Jay Leno Tonight show on Thursday afternoon. (We can get
tickets--we don't yet know if the show is taping on that date).
Pre-registration will open in March 2007.
Think about coming to sunny Southern California for this Edsel
gathering, next year, when scheduling your vacation dates.
