Thunderbird Kind of Day!

[2K2BIRD]

:biggrin: Today was one of those great midwinter days (64 degrees) that we sometimes get in Northeast Oklahoma. I took the opportunity to get "Jewel" out of the garage and make about 140 mile jaunt around this part of Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas. It was the first time I have had a good chance to sport the NM wheels around. I must say the drive was intoxicating as we have some really fun, twisty roads in this part of the country. One problem is that I often caught myself doing 80 mph without really realizing it (these cars seem to naturally settle out at about that speed). :pbj: :pbj:

Stopped in a Barnes & Noble in Fayetteville, Ark and found the the "Thunderbird Chronicles" book on the 75% off rack!! Needless to say I didn't hesitate at $6.25. Went into a Hobby Lobby and found the new '56 Thunderbird Muscle Machines in black and white. Needed them to add to the red and yellow ones I already have, so they came home with me, too. :wink:

I took a few pictures of the car and one of the Muscle Machines to share with you. Hope you enjoy them just 1/1000th as much as I enjoyed the day.

Paul,

"Thanks" for sharing the great pics! It's so VERY NICE to have
those TBird Kind of Days, especially in the winter! Glad you
had a fun day!

BTW, those NM wheels show off very well!! :thumbsup:

And love the NM wheels on your red...first red I've seen with these wheels.

Paul & Rosetta, I remember you from Destin. We've had a long hard cold spell here in Michigan. Latest problem is keeping water warm enough for horses to drink and avoid colic. Rosetta, the cold must be good for business, teeth keep coming in the office!! Red car looks swell. Be careful of that collecting bug!

Steve, we'll be getting some of your cold weather over the next few days. Know what you mean about the cold weather and patients. Rosetta's been really busy in the dental clinic, too and the pharmacy has been crazy. We filled 1500 (yes, you read it right) prescriptions today (at least a few of them came from the dental clinic)!

The collecting bug gets worse instead of better as you know. Have you picked up the ERTL Precision 100 1:18th '57 Bird in Red? It is a heck of a nice model. I like it a lot better than the Starmist (I think that is what it is called) Blue they brought out first, but then I like red, duh). They are scheduled to bring it out in the rose color next. It will probably be the prettiest of the three.

Happy hunting.
