What a great surprise this card is !!! one of my all time favourite classic cars.. This card has just arrived and is a surprise swap from a fellow swapper in California.. This most wonderful card shows this magnificent 1956 Ford Thunderbird V8 hardtop with the"classic" hardtop portholes , wheel skirts , and the spare tyre "Corondo back deck" and white wall tyres. what a wonderful piece of Americana heavy metal .
The 1956 Thunderbird recalls the early days of automobiling when cars were made for fun moreso than function ability..These Thunderbirds.. and other "two seaters" were were sold as personal cars and quite often second cars ! in which motorists really enjoyed just driving them for their own sake .This Ford Thunderbirds owner , Fords engineer William Burnett had a personal relationship with it as he supervised the developement of the first Thunderbird Thank you William Burnett !! What a "Classic" this car is.
Thank you so much Helen for this most welcomed card and will go straight into my favourites "
