1957 Ford Edsel with the toilet seat grill was most famous flop.

The Edsel was, indeed, a major flop. However, there weren’t piles and piles of them that had to be scrapped. All were simply sold, though likely at a less than the desired price. The Edsel was a quite usable car. It just looked bad.

That was a “horse-collar” grill...
