I think this might shed some light on it. At first I thought that was an aftermarket edition, but ford did offer that bumper as a package. It looks like that was very much in vogue at the time to have a spare mounted on the rear like that. Ford just went crazy with it. I looked and there are other examples of edsels like that so it wasn't uncommon.
