Victor Manning Driving School has been around the New Orleans area "forever".

 

Through the years we have been featured in numerous newspaper articles and on several radio broadcasts. This page hold photos, articles, radio clips and ads. These items showcase the reason that we are considered a New Orleans iconic institution. So, when you are going down that list of "Ain't der no mores" , don't include Victor Manning, because "They still der"!

The Edsel

Value: Over $100,000 for convertible in good condition

    When Ford developed the Edsel car line in the 1950s, it was intended to offer customers something a bit nicer and more distinctive than Mercury cars but not quite as luxurious as a Lincoln.

    Ford spent about $400 million to develop the cars, or about $3 billion in today's money. During Edsel's short life, only 118,000 cars were sold, about half of what Ford needed to break even.

    Edsels are valuable today in part simply because most cars from that chrome-and-fins era are increasing in value. The more chrome and the bigger the fins, the better.

1958 Edsel Color Film for internal use. Original soundtrack.

Victor Manning used several Edsel convertables in their fleet in the late 50's.
