A Thunderbird at birth: :cheers What are the chances that this one is now mine? It has the correct color, Hardtop, engine trim package. : Ahh: When USA was the manufacturing world leader!

I got a handle on most other fix needs for my 1955 thunderbird but whould like some feedback about the clock & radio. I think it is all origonal even whith 6V positive ground. The clock & radio are both origonal but do not work. Per vendors I have found the clock can be fixed or retrofited...

my gauge also near pegs the temperature chart but the surface temperature on the steel at the thermostat runs 90 to 100 degrees above ambient after running a while. It would be easy to put in a resistor in line if I knew what size.

Thanks. I would like to do that provided I do not have to drill holes. Can a 56/57 owner forward a pic of the mounts? I found smeone who will make the sun visor the color you want but at near the same price.

I wonder if there are peened clips specificly for this job. I did not see this in either of two catalogs I got. I did not think that they simply get fit in with the "Ford-o-matic precision fitting tool" . :driving Uhh - short for a hammer.

Hi I am new also. I bought a well restored 1955 T-bird and drained a bank account for it a few weeks ago. I went through the restoration think with a mustang that I'll give to my son in the near future. I did not want to repeat that again.:auto

Hi I am new to this site. On my 55 T-bird the heater control panel seems to be a puzzle I cannot fix nor does the shop manual helo. The steel enclosure housing with the 2 left/right movement knobs had left & right tabs that are intended to swing away from the box to hold the assembly on the dash...
