The Edwards America Automobile & The Edwards Engineering Co.

Edwards' first car was the experimental 1949 Special, a four-seat convertible with a removable hardtop and windshield for racing. Power was supplied by a Ford flathead V-8 equipped with dual Stromberg carburetors, a special overhead-valve cylinder head and a high lift cam. The Edwards developed 115 horsepower and achieved speeds of 155 miles per hour. A second experimental Edwards Sports Car used a light fiberglass body and a Kaiser-Frazer 100 inch chassis. A Chrysler 331 cubic inch 180 HP Himi V-8 provided plenty of muscle.
