I don't think Edsel came along until 1958, so that would have not impacted the 1955-1957 Fords.
I have been told that rust was a real problem during those years for Ford and that could account for the scarcity of these cars. Maybe Chevy just looked that much better and the 265 and 283 were that much better than the Y block 292 and 312. But I think won some NASCAR titles during this model run also....
It's just always been curious to me.
