A windy ride

  1. I remember the commercial for these when they first were revealed to the public.....three vehicles were travelling down the road under sheets when they suddenly blew off....I was 10 at the time and this was the most modern jet age car I'd ever seen.....

  2. Perfect car to take my wife out to supper at the local drive in.

  3. Now that's a pretty clever concept that works. If I recall, those Thunderbirds were real lead sleds though, very heavy and rode like a sofa.

    1. IMHO....compared to the 55-57 'birds....these were the most ugliest POS that Ford designed up to that timeframe!!

  4. That reminds me of the old joke about how to tell a happy motorcyclist, by the bugs in his teeth.

  6. If you welded a water tank onto it and painted it black, it would make a pretty good second choice Deathmobile.

  8. I associate Thunderchickens with sleazy Jack Lemmon upper managers who keep a secretary in jewels and a townhouse , and are married to Phyliss Diller.

    if memory serves, that was a theme back in the early sixties.
