This
is a Revell 1989 SC Super
Coupe Thunderbird kit. It is basically stock, except that
I made a convertible out of it and added a rear deck wing.
The car is painted Testors
metallic blue. I cut a piece out of flat stock and molded
it in where the back seat would meet the deck lid. The roof
I cut off, and left the front windshield visors.
Overall,
it's just to make an imaginary car that Ford never built.

An Illustrated History of the Ford T-Bird - 320 pages and
over 1000 pictures are employed to describe the early Ford
Thunderbirds. The 1955-1957 models are clearly defined and there
is additional coverage of the 1958 to 1969 versions. Highly recommended.

Thunderbird
Fifty Years - For five decades, the Ford Thunderbird has been
a car that has taken America on a wonderful ride through the changes
of its time. From the sporty classic two-seater that people still
go nuts for over half a century after it was first built, to the
retro reincarnation of today and everything in between from sleek
convertibles and suicide-doored sedans to supercharged coupes,
the T-bird has been an enthusiast's car for all seasons. Thunderbird:
50 Years takes a look at the golden history of every generation
of this American classic, and details the development and evolution
of one of Ford's best-known models year-by-year, in text and 200
photographs. Chapter by chapter, each generation of the T-bird
is placed within the context of its time to help illustrate why
the car evolved as it did. From the ever-desirable finned two-seaters
of the 1950s, stylish and sporty convertibles of the late 1950s
and early 1960s, suicide-door cruisers of the late 1960s, land
yachts of the 1970s, aerodynamic turbo- and supercharged coupes
of the 1980s and 1990s, and today's retro-influenced reincarnations,
all are covered from an enthusiast's viewpoint. Learn what's rare
and desirable in the lists of options, colors and production figures.
