The Edsel Citation was a family of full-size cars that debuted for the 1958 model year. The Citation was offered in two door hardtop, four door hardtop, and two door convertible body styles, and was Edsel's flagship model. This family of rear wheel drive cars was powered by a 410 cubic inch (6.7L) V8 engine paired to a three speed manual transmission. Due to Edsel's commercial failure, the Citation was only offered for the 1958 model year before being discontinued with a total of 9,299 examples made.
