I am "new" to this T'bird world and wanted to buy a '57 as it is the year of my birth.
Since looking, I find most that are of a standard I require (considering my lack of mechanical knowledge to put things right) are out of my price range. (Trading around $30k).
However '59's of a simile standard appear $10k cheaper. I actually like the thought of a back seat (to treat friends to the intended experience of "Cruising around"), and '59 is my wife's year of birth!! From what I can gather an awful lot more were produced (being the 2nd model taking on board suggestions form the original launch), but there appears fewer of them "for Sale" and yet they do appear cheaper as stated.
Peoples thoughts and advice please? (I live in the UK, and advice on shipping equally received).
Thanks
Philip
