VIN: D7FH266737 Flame Red Exterior with White Interior; 312 Cubic Inch/245 HP Engine; Hard Top and Soft Top; Automatic; Amos Minter Thunderbird; “Pink Slip” California Car; Numbers Matching; Original Colors; Power Steering; Power Brakes. This 1957 Ford Thunderbird was built in Dearborn, Michigan on April 12, 1957. Amos Minter of Dallas, Texas purchased the car out of California. It was a California “Pink Slip” car with perfect metal. It had been well maintained over the years and was not in need of restoration. Minter inspected and updated the car with an alternator, stereo, and power steering. He also added wire wheels and the related helper springs. The Thunderbird was then sold to a client of Fox Motorsports in Michigan in late 2002. That owner used it occasionally in nice weather and has always stored it properly when not in use. It has not been driven in winter months or used in bad weather. The car went back to Minter after purchase for an updated radiator fan and shroud, to help engine cooling during summer parades. The brakes and electrical system were recently gone through by Fox Motorsports and were updated and improved (see below). The car drives great and is well sorted. The exterior of the Thunderbird is very nice. The paint is bright and shiny, with no swirling or abrasions. It does show its age with a few imperfections and a couple of chips and touch-ups. The chrome is excellent. The interior is also excellent, with very little wear. The hard-top is in very good condition too. The included white soft top is in serviceable condition and would need recovering to be perfect. The underside of the car is very good and appears to be original. There is undercoating covering the underside (perhaps dealer installed when new) but no repairs, damage, or rust are evident.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
