The 1958 Thunderbird was my birthday present from
Carol, my wife. It made the trek to the Iola Old Car Show in 2005
with only minor problems. I had the front end rebuilt, updated the
wipers to electric and updated to Pertronix electronic ignition.
It was repainted in the 70's in the original Cameo Rose with a Winterset
White top. There has been some work done on the original black and
white interior including a new dash pad. The engine is the original
352 Police Interceptor and has never been opened up. It does have
a power steering leak that I hope a new set of hoses will help.There
are some rust issues to be addressed but overall it is solid and
straight. The hubcaps are from a '72 T-Bird. It does grab attention
wherever we go. Thanks to Nels for being the caretaker of the T-Bird
the past couple of decades. |
