Biographical History
In September 1957, the Lincoln Division and Mercury Division were consolidated with James J. Nance appointed as vice president and general manager. In January 1958, functions of the Edsel Division were transferred to an expanded division, designated as the M-E-L Division, responsible for the engineering, production, and marketing of the Continental, Lincoln, Mercury, and Edsel automobiles. The M-E-L Division was responsible for sale in the United States of English Ford automobiles and the products imported from Ford of Germany. Nance was appointed vice president and general manager of M-E-L Division and Ben D. Mills was designated the vice president and assistant general manager. In September of 1958, Ben D. Mills was promoted to vice president and general manager upon the resignation of Nance. Walker A. Williams was appointed vice president and assistant general manager to fill Mills' position. In November of 1959, disappointing sales forced Ford Motor Company to discontinue production of the Edsel automobile. The M-E-L Division was reverted back to the Lincoln-Mercury Division but Mills and Walker remained in charge.
