Geocache Description:

The Fabulous Thunderbirds - 1957


Congrats Flintstone5611 on FTF!!!

 


Here is a series of caches that celebrates one of the coolest models of cars ever built, the Ford Thunderbird.  I've never owned one, but one day I'd love to buy and old classic example.  I'd cruise from cache to cache with the top down!  Man, that would be the life.

 

First year for "port" window in hardtop
First year for standard rear-mounted spare tire (1956 only)
Lifeguard deep dish steering wheel and double grip door latches introduced as standard
First year for 12-volt electrical system
Door-mounted wind wings introduced as standard
Front fender air vents introduced to improve air flow to interior
Thunderbird Special V-8 engine option with 2 x 4-barrel carburetors
 

"Leave It to Beaver" premieres on CBS television; On October 31, 1957 Toyota exports its first automobiles to the United States; Oklahoma celebrates its 50th anniversary since statehood in part by burying a brand new 1957 Plymouth Belvedere in an underground concrete vault in Tulsa...it is to be unearthed as part of the 100th anniversary celebrations in 2007; Cadillac debutes the Eldorado Brougham, priced at $13,074 it was the most expensive production car to date; and the baby boom climaxed in 1957 with 4.2 million American babies born.
