VLVL(4)(aa) Never Underestimate A Pynchon

[Vincent A. Maeder]

	"observing a rare, legendary (some believed only folkloric)
Edsel Escondido, sort of a beefier Ford Ranchero with a complexity of
Chrome accents, including around that well-known problem grille..."
(VL, Ch. 4, p. 44)  Although the Edsel spotter's guide doesn't give us
an entry for the Escondido, it seems appropriate that Mr. Vato and Mr.
Blood would pull such a vehicle from one of Mr. Pynchon's swampy Id of
creativity.  http://www.edsel.com/pages/spotters.htm
	HOWEVER, there is this gentleman in California who built a
custom Edsel Ranchero (sounds pretty similar so far) which looks like a
beefed up Ranchero (check out the picks, it does) in the 1980's (!)
which he eventually "sold to a fellow in Napa"!  Perhaps, Mr. Pynchon
still owns this car?  Yet, it exists... It LIVES!
