Description
BEAUTIFUL, TURN KEY, DUSK ROSE '57 T BIRD FOR SALE.
READY FOR THE LOCAL SHOWS AND DRIVING ANYWHERE!
THIS SWEATHEART SPENT THE LAST 5 YEARS UNDER COVER IN A GARAGE AFTER THE THEN OWNER PASSED AWAY.
IT WAS LEFT TO HIS BUSINESS PARTNER WHO REACHED OUT TO ME ABOUT REFURBISHING ANYTHING THAT NEEDED ATTENTION AND COSMETIC DETAILING. AFTER 2 MONTHS OF WORKING ON IT SHE'S READY TO GO!
I HAD THE PLEASURE OF DRIVING THIS CAR ALMOST EVERY DAY TO SEE WHAT SHE NEEDED AND TO MAKE SURE ALL WAS GOOD.
WHILE IT IS NOT A PEBBLE BEACH OR AMELIA ISLAND LEVEL CAR, IT IS A VERY, VERY NICE RIDE FROM 67 YEARS AGO. SOMEONE IS GOING TO LOVE IT.
OH, I HAVE NOT DETECTED ANY RUST ISSUES ANYWHERE BUT WILL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU OR YOUR EXPERT TO AGREE.
APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN GROUND UP RESTORED SOME YEARS AGO AND HAS HELD UP BEAUTIFULLY.
NOW EVERYTHING WORKS EXCEPT THE ORIGINAL CLOCK. THE NEW STEREO HAS A DIGITAL CLOCK FEATURE.
I CAN ONLY TELL YOU THAT PEOPLE ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS BABY BIRD. MEN AND WOMEN ALIKE... THE NEW OWNER WILL FIND OUT.
THE COLOR COMBO, LOVE IT OR NOT, MAKES THIS CAR VERY SPECIAL. WHERE EVER YOU PARK IT, PEOPLE FLOCK TO SEE IT CLOSER. NEVER ANEGATIVE COMMENT, JUST LOVE AND APRRECIATION. MY TRUE EXPERIENCE. THIS FACTORY COLOR FROM 1957 WAS POPULAR THEN AND EVEN MORE NOW!
OPTIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS - DUAL OUTSIDE MIRRORS, ADDED SEAT BELTS, POWER STEERING, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ADDED BUILT IN TRICKLE CHARGER, TELESCOPIC STEERING WHEEL, NEW AM FM STEREO, PORT HOLE HARD TOP, WHITE SOFT TOP, PADDED DASH, WORKING FACTORY TACHOMETER, BRAND NEW WIDE WHITE WALLS, HEAVY DUTY ALUMINUM RADIATOR, HIDDEN ELECTRIC COOLING FAN.
SHOW IT - DRIVE IT - LOVE IT!

OTHER SERVICES PROVIDED A
IN ADDITION TO THE DETAILING. LET'S BEGIN WITH THE BATTERY GOING DEAD EVERY NIGHT. WENT THROUGH THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LOOKING FOR A DRAW ON THE BATTERY OVER NIGHT. FOUND IT TO BE THE AM FM RADIO. DISCONNECTED THE RADIO TO ALLOW THE CAR TO START EVERY TIME WITH NO ISSUES. ORDER A NEW STEREO RADIO WITH THE THUNDERBIRD LOGO TO BE SWAPPED IN. INSTALL THE NEW STEREO RADIO. PLAYS GREAT AND NO MORE BATTERY ISSUES. BATTERY IS NEW TOO. CLEAN AND PAINT THE INSIDE OF THE ASHTRAY SILVER. NO CIGARRETTE SMELL FROM THE 60"S! PRY OPEN THE GLOVE BOX TO CUT AND GLUE THE DASH PAD OUT OF THE WAY OF THE GLOVE BOX DOOR. ALSO TOUCH UP THE GLOVE BOX DOOR. STEERING WHEEL WAS MISSING SOME OF IT?S BLACK PAINT. ORDER PAINT AND DID ALL TOUCH UPS. HORNS QUIT WORKING. EXAMINE THE ENTIRE HORN SYSTEM LOOKING FOR A FAULT. WHEN THE CAR ARRIVED THE HORNS DID WORK BUT ONLY IF YOU PRESSED THE HORN RING ON THE LEFT SIDE. THEN THEY QUIT ALL TOGETHER. SANDED AND CLEANED ALL HORN ELECTRIC CONTACTS.
THAT DID NOT BRING THE HORNS BACK TO LIFE BUT IT NEEDED THAT SERVICE TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN PUSH THE HORN RING FROM ANY ANGLE ONCE WORKING AGAIN.
DIAGNOSED THAT THE HORN RELAY WAS THE ISSUE. ORDERED A NEW ONE AND INSTALLED
THEY BLOW LIKE 1957 AGAIN.
ADJUST THE WORM GEAR IN THE STEERING BOX TO REMOVE PLAY AND IMPROVE STRAIGHT LINE BRAKING.
REATTACH CHROME MLDG AT THE BACK / BOTTOM OF THE HARD TOP.
MODIFY ALL WHEEL COVERS TO STAY ON. ONE WAS FLYING OFF ESPECIALLY IN CORNERS. FIXED NOW. I'VE PUSHED THE CAR HARD THROUGH CORNERS AND NO PROBLEMS.
TAKE UP TO "SUMPTER TIRE" TO HAVE NEW COKER WHITE WALL TIRES MOUNTED AND BALLANCED.

ORDER AND INSTALL NEW WIRING FOR THE IN DASH MAP LIGHT.
ORDER NEW TACHOMETER CABLES AND INSTALL. WORKS PERFECT.
THIS IS NOW A SHOW AND GO READY BABY BIRD! 1957!
THE ONLY APPOLOGY LEFT IS A NON WORKING FACTORY CLOCK AND A SMALL CRACK IN THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW, HAS BEEN THERE FOR 30 YEARS. THE NEW STEREO HAS A CLOCK IF YOU REALLY CARE WHAT TIME IT IS
I NORMALLY DON'T DO THE RESTORATIONS BUT I SAW THIS CAR WAS A SWEET HEART AND DECIDED TO BRING HER BACK TO HER FULL GLORY.
IT WAS MY PLEASURE.
