Morte

Edsel Ford desenvolveu câncer de estômago metastático e febre indolente^[6]. A cirurgia para remover o câncer não teve êxito devido às metástases. Morreu em 1943 em Gaukler Point, sua casa à beira do lago em Grosse Pointe Shores, com a idade de 49.^[7]^[8] Seu pai retomou a presidência da empresa. Todas as suas ações sem direito a voto da Ford, foram doadas por uma cláusula adicional em seu testamento, para a Fundação Ford, fundada com o seu pai, sete anos antes. Ele foi sepultado no cemitério de Woodlawn em Detroit, Michigan.

More popular names that year included the soaring Kermit, Buford and Elvin.
