Jack Hershey & "Shorty" Ewing's '57 Thunderbirds

This is a car show sight you don't behold everyday: Nearly identically modified 1957 Thunderbirds, owned by a couple of buddies who just wanted to pool their ideas together and build two beautiful mild customs with much in common.

JB. Thanks. I was just looking at that book last week. Great book. Love the Edsel tail lights. Slim

 

gorgeous pair!!!! I love custom t-birds

 

The Edsel tailights are a cool and unusual touch!

 

Thanks for the post. Two great looking T-Birds.

 

Very good looking cars. I really like that modifications are clean and simple.

Does anyone know if either of these cars still exist?

 

Great looking cars that look like you could have bought them from the dealer like that. Very Cool.

 

those are some sweet looking tbirds!!!

 

Amen to that. I'd even be happy to have the radio pictured ... Zenith Transoceanic ... worth a nice price to radio collectors.

 

I have seen these pics in the past, I have yet to see a pic of the front of the maroon bird, Ive only ever seen it from the rear....

 

Man, great pics, thanks for puttin' 'em up!! Hard to improve on the 'birds, but those boys pulled it off. Showin' some class....

 

When customized I think most of the 2 seater Thunderbirds are way over done & do little or nothing to improve the looks of the car. In fact most of them do not look as good as they did stock. These 2 both look great!

 

I love those taillights,that's just a great look.And luckily I own a few Transoceanics,too.

 

I've said it before elsewhere but this is an excellent book!

 

I love the wheel opening reveal on the gold car...really great execution on all the other touches, too...

 

Bringing this back up from the past, any other shots of these birds exist?????
