This is my 1958 Thunderbird. My family bought this back in 1983, and we had it repainted to the current colors.

At the body shop circa 1983 (the shop owner is shown in the pic):

The stock color of the car was a silver-platinum. The current colors do match an actual 1958 paint scheme that was a stock combination. The interior is Black and White. I've basically had it since I turned 16 back in 1985... I drove it all thru High School as my daily driver car. (Lots of good times!) It's got the stock 352 V-8 engine, A/T, with around 160,000 miles currently on the car. Has Power windows, & Power drivers seat.

It used to have wide white wall tires with the stock hubcaps (see the pics below)

This year (2008) I put a new set of wheels and tires on the car:

WOW!!! I love the two-tone paint scheme. I'm more a fan of the original hubcaps & whitewalls myself, but to each his own. Have u had anything done to the rear suspension bushings yet? =o[]

Wow!!! Sweet T-bird, Erik. They sure don't make them the way they used to anymore. Birds of those 50's and 60's era are definitely the best. A big 5 stars for you there. Cheers!!!
