Peggy Sue's Dad got an Edsel!

Screen shot from 'Peggy Sue Got Married'

Hood ornament keepsake  from our Edsel.
It fell out when Dad brushed snow one afternoon.
The only thing left of it was the circular mount frame,
which remained there like a Big Zero for the rest of its life.

We watched "Peggy Sue Got Married" again tonight, that wonderful, nostalgic time traveler starring Kathleen Turner and Nicolas Cage. Peggy Sue returns to 1959 after 25 years and relives, among many other things, the day her sweet, oblivious Dad brought home a new car.

"Dad!" she exclaims with a bemused smile, "You bought an Edsel!"
Dad didn't know just what was supposed to be so funny about that.
We didn't either, that day in 1957 when Dad brought home our two-toned blue and white Edsel.
