I took a few pics of a nice '57 T-Bird at the NSRA Nats in Tampa a couple of months ago. What do you think of this one?

I've been trying like the dickens to find a pic of a yellow '57 owned by a guy named Mike Seelbinder in Vancouver, Wa. It's a beauty, especially under the hood.................a 427 cammer. That should perk up your day Dave. Here's one that's almost a nice.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon

Tech I'm with you on this one. I like the simple blue one, but they also look nice in simple red or black! Originally Posted by techinspector1
