The chrome and stainless trim is largely original and in good condition with no signs of distress-only the little fender-top emblems are showing their age with some light spalling in the plastic lenses. No rust repairs, no rot, no bondo, just good factory sheetmetal that has probably never been totally blown apart. It says Golden Motors on the trunk lid and I tracked them down in South Carolina the condition of the sheetmetal bears out a warm weather life for this car.

The paint job is probably 10 or 15 years old and I don't really think the car has ever been totally disassembled, but it sure feels right. This awesome ‘Bird comes from the collection of a very particular guy who simply wanted everything to work properly, so it does-and we have an inch-thick stack of receipts (all neatly bound, labeled, and organized by date) showing that no stone was left unturned on this car. If you have the vision and the confidence to own a car whose original color is code V Palm Springs Rose, you're going to get a great one when you put this Thunderbird in your garage. But something with a set of tailfins and a bunch of chrome like this Thunderbird? Yeah, that’s a car that stands out without being loud about it, and which makes people fall in love without rightly knowing why. People LOVE pink cars, as long as they’re the right car and the right pink. That's really too bad, because our experiences with pink cars has been 100% positive and much of it is due to the color. One thing we’ve learned in this business is that most guys aren't quite ready to step up to a pink car.
