    The front end of that squarebird reminds me of this, erm, "unique" Studebaker kustom. CC2-vi.jpeg

    Judging on how far the top of that front wheel is tilted in, that Thunderbird has some serous suspension modifications.. Looks like 9 - 10 degrees positive caster.. Lowering will also do this but I've never saw it to that extent..

    One things for sure the craftsman who did this was very skilled, just because I don't like it doesn't mean it doesn't deserve credit..

  18. I read somewhere years ago that the rumor was one of the Ford women upon viewing the prototype complained that it was 'too plain' and that was where the side trim originated. She insisted that her personal car had to have the trim.

    That was my computer screen background for a long time. Have made a recent change but may go back to this one.
