Automotif CCXLII...

A couple of dudes out for a Sunday morning cruise in a beautiful red 1957 Ford Thunderbird. Man, the first three model years of the Thunderbird are some of my favorite cars, looks-wise. I probably imprinted hard on the black '55 model that my dad had for a couple years when I was in grade school.

I remember he occasionally had to fuss with it to get it to run, with its archaic 6V electrical system. It seemed so... old fashioned. It's weird to think that my '94 Mustang is, relatively, older now than that T-bird was back then. (This would have been '79 or so, back when well-equipped home garages still had a timing light.)
