Description My favorite pre-fifty-eight Thunderbird is the 57 T-Bird Convertible. And this one in Powder Blue is an irresistible retro-tribute to an age. What was known in the 20th-Century as Mid-Century-Modern was a time when automobile design blossomed. Cars in general at that time reflected the strong positive attitude of the Post-War era. They reflected the move to modern styling. It was a time when proportion was king! So-to-speak ~:0)The 57 T-Bird convertible epitomized the freedom of driving an open car. It was available in a hardtop convertible style that had a cute little port-hole in what had previously been a very wide rear quarter. The advertising of the day credited the glassed nautical nostalgia as a concept to improve visibility when changing lanes. Thats all very nice. But Ill tell U what I think about the hardtop. Take it Off! Make ur ride a roadster when ever U can yea!What if it rains? Okay Who let U in here Ha! Yeah if it rains use the standard soft-top ~:0) Yeh its cool. Gots a nice soft convertible top as well. The designers of the 57 T-Bird had it all going for em. They made the ultimate personal run-about for the American road. And were they at Ford proud of that accomplishment. Just ask em ~:0)Some of U already know that Ford brought back the classic two-seater Thunderbird recently. Its very nice. Its probably a better car than the original 57 T-Bird. Gots more gizmos and safer too. Better looking? There are those wholl argue the point. Though most agree the new T-Bird is too expensive. Yeh cost too much. Nice car but most of who would buy it wont or cant spend that much. After all its a two seater with modest power. And the rear-end is a bit barren. And its not a Mercedes or BMW or Audi. Its a Ford for crying out loud.Again we here at VivaChas! and Hot Rodney Hot Rods have what we think is the solution to this dilemma. Get urself a nice print from us of this great-looking 57 T-Bir
