1957 Ford Thunderbird owned by Chris Casny of Hollywood, California. This was Chris' wife Gloria Casny's dreamcar, so in 2009 they found one for sale and bought it. The car was basically stock, but it was equipped by a 312 Y-block engine, making it super fast. The handling was excellent, so there is no wonder people raced those little T-birds back in the day. One unique feature on the car was, it did not have portholes in the top, you rarely see that. The radial tires were replaced by bias plys, however the handling did not suffer in the process. This was a car they would kept forever, but sadly the car was stolen in October 2010 in front of their house in Hollywood.[1]
