  • A great private Thunderbird collection

    Today our local Thunderbird club had the honor of viewing a private collection of 1955,1956, and 1957 Thunderbirds. The collector has one of each color from all three years. Some colors I had never seen. Of course he also had a nice collection of 2002 - 2005 Birds, eight to be exact.



    Yes Paul he has a red one.





    A great collection of the old ones.



    The Inca Gold.



    The Dusk Rose.



    Two nice colors.



    A real beauty, Thunderbird Gray, I had never seen this color.

              To see a collection of this quality must have been tremendous. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

                  Nice collection, I wonder why none of the hoods on the originals are not locked down.

                    Gene, at nine, I wonder if that is the largest known retro collection in the country.

                    Bet it's some ole retiree from GM with good taste.

                      It's nice to admire a collection after the fact, but I always wonder how it happened. Was it a great master plan or did it evolve sort of accidentally? Either way it's one heck of an investment both in purchase and maintenance and display. It is wonderful that people can,, and do,,, this.

                            Ron... it is extremely nice but I bet he wishes he had a dusk rose.
