Re: Look what the wife bought me for the tree!

It's beautiful. I also have one. It's from 1993, the third in the series.
I bought the Mustang in 1992. That's the year my daughter bought her first Mustang convertible. I didn't realize until the next year there was a series. In 1993 it was the blue Thunderbird. So...I had to buy one. I missed the first year, the split-window corvette. I have found that 'vette for sale, but the cheapest was $350!!!! I still don't have it.

Great Jason. It should be a required item, for all Thunderbird owners. Oh yeah, naturally have that version, how could I not (LOL), and several others too. :-)

PS: You've only just begun. Ya can't have just ONE, ya know...........LOL

Well, there is a white 1960-something T-Bird that was put out this year:



Always something!

Jason: That is a 1963 "Sport Roadster". 455 of these were made by Ford in '63 and even more rare would be if it was a "M" series (6V) of which there were 37 of those 455.

I have that blue T-Bird and the new Hallmark '63...as well as 15 other T-Birds on my tree!!! Jim Heath remarked at our party a couple weeks ago that I need to designate a whole new tree just for my T-Bird ornaments. We currently have 4 trees in our house......guess it'll be 5 next year!

It's a great collection. I have every one in the series except the Corvette which came out in '91 (and is a red & white '57 convertible, not a split-window). There is one on ebay now for $60.

We have four trees in the house, one of which has this collection on it...it's pretty cool!!!

Re: Look what the wife bought me for the tree!

I got the last '57 Corvette at a Hallmark store the day after Christmas at 50% off. I've seen them priced several years back at $100 to $150. I bought several of the Blue Tbirds and '66 Mustang Convertibles the year they were issued. I've tried to learn moderation - I only bought one of the 50th anniversary two Bird sets and one of the '63 Sports Roadsters.
