Cadillac’s cousin: ’57 Ford Thunderbird
Let’s get right to explaining the title. The same designer, Frank Hershey, who created the tailfin for the ’48 Cadillac Series 62, was on the team that designed the original Ford Thunderbird. So we took the liberty to assigning the “cousin” status to the Thunderbird. Of course that is where the similarity ends. This Thunderbird, the first personal luxury car, was quite different than the Cadillac. The Thunderbird was a direct response to Chevy’s Corvette and when it was introduced in ’55 it clobbered the ‘Vette in sales. Our featured ’57 Thunderbird is said to be unrestored and in original condition. And of course, it is pink. Read More
Okay, we can’t believe everything we read but sometimes it just feels right. This V8 Station Wagon is totally original and looks it. It was purchased from a dealer in Seattle, Washington and stayed in that family until 1986. When it changed hands to the current seller, the mileage was a scant 38,800 miles. A total of 27 years later, it has accumulated an additional 300 miles. That’s 27 years and almost no mileage. 
The 1960 Plymouth was really a milestone year for Plymouth. It was the last Plymouth manufactured with their famous fins or “stabilizers” as they were called in the sales literature. It was also the first year Plymouth manufactured with unibody construction. Unibody and those stabilizers helped a famous driver get his start. 
This old truck IS cool. It was used as a push truck to get record racers going or help them return after a run on the Flats. A unique feature is a chromed front bumper & custom 50’s Crash Guard (seller still has original push bar that came with the truck) by Custom Chrome in Long Beach. The windshield has a real 1961 Bonneville Participant decal still on it. It also has an original 50’s style dice shift knob. All the history aside this is one cool truck. It’s yours for $16,500.
