Local car at Lexington Cars and Coffee.

This is very close to The Fred Stebbins T-Bird shown in this Hot Rod mag. pic.
Close to the same but the original shows knock offs' on the halibrands? Otherwise the same? I always liked it as well. It has a 1957 non-Porthole option fibergl*** top and added 56-57 dual carbs.

 

Still looking!

Give us more info to go on. serial no. frame markings. paint will have changed for sure, and who knows what else?

 

No serial nos. a Willys ch***is and axle. no paperwork or registration. At one time ran a Buick nailhead and hydro which I gave away to a guy in midwest who ran Buicks in his Willys.

Saw this going down the FWY this past Monday…. Looked like it had a ME*** Auction insert where the plate goes.

 

Pretty stealthy little 'Bird local to me.
427 'R' code engine, T5 trans.

 

^^It look as though there may be another Bird in the corner behind it with an FI sticking out of it?

Cool 56!

 

You are correct, a '57 with an SOHC but not HAMB friendly due to C5 Corvette suspension.

^^^Had a 57 JUST like this one! Still have my 55, though.
