Re: The smells
Not to change the subject, After I would come home from a long ride on my Harley. The smells of a cool down motor remind me of the police motorcycle garage when I was a kid. Oh and after a ride in the country my 56 would have that classic old car smell.

Re: 56 Hard Top
According to the 57 sales brochure the "Port"window is the standard window for all 57 Thunderbirds. Or for those who prefer
the hard top is available without "port" windows. This is taken from the original 1957 Thunderbird brochure.

Re: Facebook purchase…….not going well
Sorry to hear this, I was lured to a 56 bird 7 years ago. The car had everything going for it. Nice pictures etc. I drove out to see the car 150 miles . The car was put together like a scape book. The guy photoshopped the pictures !
