Only 300 models had this <br />color in '57 (out of the 27,000 T-Birds built by Ford). <br />The White hard top I acquired in 1975. Some day I will get it painted Green.<br /><br />In the '50s, Vettes were Red, but I don't agree that in subsequent years they<br />were all Red.<br /><br />Ted

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>The first 300 Vettes made (in 1953) were all Polo White, with a red interior and a black soft top. Black, Pennant Blue and Sportsman Red were added in 1954, and the black soft top became tan. However, 95% of 1954s were white or blue.<br /><br />But red became more popular as time went on, and is certainly a very popular restoration color.

Posted By: <b>Elliot</b><p>My comment was because of the Chevy chief engineer who said "All Corvettes are Red" referring to the heart of a Corvette, no matter the outside color. It later became the title of a book.... <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0671685015/104-5512376-6526346?v=glance&n=283155" target="_new">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0671685015/104-5512376-6526346?v=glance&n=283155</a>

It's essentially<br /> the same color as my 1957. Although these pictures aren't<br />the best due to the poor lighting in my garage.<br /><br />Also, if you look closely at the rear of the garage, you can<br />get a glimpse of my '50s "Vintage" BaseBall Pin Ball game.<br />It's the Super Slugger model by United. It is the one that<br />has the players run around the bases....3 Home Run decks....<br />3 different Bat intensities; etc, etc....great machine.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.freephotoserver.com/v001/tedzan/tbird1960b.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.freephotoserver.com/v001/tedzan/tbird1960f.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Elliot</b><p>In one of the pics it makes your t-bird look yellow. Now, when is the National going to be in Texas so I can see Ted's cars in person, and play a little pinball <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> .

It's just as good as the National.<br /><br />The large photo represents the true color of this T-Bird. It's really<br />strange how the front pix came out yellowish. I attribute this effect<br />to the overhead fluorescent lighting inside the garage. You might call<br />it "surreal".<br /><br />Hey guy, your welcome to play my BB PinBall machine any time....let's<br />see if you can top my 560 runs (high scoring record). Runners-up are<br />Mark Macrae, my Grandson Ronnie, and a good friend and fellow hobbyist,<br /> Pat Roche.
