I was at the 2018 Spring Rod Run in Pigeon Forge and spotted a 1957 Ford Thunderbird with a Hardtop the guy said was special ordered from the factory without a porthole. The car also had documentation which I scanned and attached to this post from a February 1959 Rod & Custom magazine where the front end had been customized, and it also had a custom grill and appeared in a magazine. The car sold right after I shot the video below!
Does anyone know more about this car, or how many cars had no porthole from the factory in 1957?
Below a video of the car, I am uploading photos to the photo gallery here. Below is the car original sale documents as well as the magazine article. This is a pretty cool car! It went to Georgia.
