"The chrome headlight eyebrows were NEVER an option on the Thunderbird".

This memory is from back in the day. I believe the first 14 Thunderbirds had them.

not 100% sure about the other 13 but George Watt’s Thunderbird 005 had them. First production Tbird.

The chrome eyebrows are from a 55 fairlane headlight doors, Those fit the baby thunderbirds. Those were never an option for the 55-57 thunderbirds.

That’s been my understanding as well. George bought the 005 car and had it restored. They could have been added then. At one time in ‘02-‘03 I had several pair in my shop. They had all come from passenger cars.

Today was a rare combination of decent weather + enough spare time to drive down to the park with my good camera (One is of the whole car, not just the hood; but I included it because I think it turned out well!)

Oh yah! that B/W photo of the scoop is classic. How many would recognize it on the spot?

Great pics, great car, love it!

Beautiful pics. Makes it harder for me to wait for ours, but also more excited. I know that when ours is finished, I am going to be thinking about these reflections every time I drive the car.
