Zito and Switek in 1961 Thunderbird. Miami Vice was the best 1980's television...

and that is a pretty bird for sure.

Early Perry Mason episodes - He got a Lincoln when he was more successful.

One of the reasons I love that show was for the cool cars of the time, usually the top Ford models. Perry always drove black convertibles, and in the first episodes had a '57 Skyliner hideaway hardtop. Paul Drake always seemed to sport the latest Thunderbirds, complementing his perennial tweed sports coats. Lincolns were a given if there were wealthy clients, and I also recall Perry in a '59/'60 (?) Lincoln. Black convertible naturally. Man I love that show. I rewatch it on YouTube from time to time.

Tonight's episode of Counting Cars, "Back in Time", at 9:30 eastern/8:30 central on the History Channel is supposed to feature a 1957 Thunderbird.

Thanks for the heads up. What a beautiful result!

yes, it was interesting to see those guys restore something to stock original instead of making it a restomod. Of course starting with a E Bird is a great reason to go back original.

Wish they'd shown more of the actual work but you can't have everything. That Chevy for $25K had me looking for the checkbook.

There will be more Thunderbird shots coming. If I remember right Christopher's girlfriend drives one in the series.

Right. Christopher parks it in long term parking at Newark airport while she gets whacked by Silvio.

How many saw it? Anna Kooiman last show on Fox and Friends provided some of her news stories. She drove way in one segment in a red Retro, top down, sounded like Borla exhaust!!

To see that one, I guess I'd have to watch some "fair and balanced (??)" news - no wonder I missed it.
