        I also like the forward opening hood. I'll pass on the rest. IMO, one of the best design elements of our Birds is the way the body tapers down towards the rear. That beautiful and now uncommon feature is lost with addition of the tailfins. I love the '57 Bird but only as an original or restomod '57.

          Think if I wanted that look I would get a '57. Lots of them on the market these days.
          Snowbird - It's not the same car as in Kitchener, but has same rear fenders. Weiland unit had continental, custom all white interior and many other mods as well. Engine was stock.

            First I have seen pof fins mod and more I look the less I like it. It is aan excellent job but just doesn't blend with the rest of the car. I would guess you could almost buy a '57 for what all that cost to do. I am still thinking of buying a '57 and think having the retroe will make it even more enjoyable. I know several of you guys have both little birds and would like to hear how You use them etc.
