In the car world, both the Edsel and the Chrysler K-Car were unsuccessful.
Not to get off-topic, but the K-Platform was wildly successful.

Per Wikipedia: "The K-cars (Dodge Aries, Plymouth Reliant, Chrysler LeBaron, Dodge 400, and, in Mexico, Dodge Dart) sold very well, selling between 280,000 and 360,000 every year from 1981 to 1988, and edging over 100,000 in their final year, 1989."

The K-Platform was the backbone of Chrysler for over a decade, and Lee Iacocca credited them with saving Chrysler by allowing it to pay off the company's bankruptcy loans.

Of course, the K-Cars aren't collectible at all, and the Sigma won't be either.
