American graffiti
A U.S. Secret Service agent was suspended with pay last week after reportedly admitting that he scrawled anti-Islam slurs on a Muslim prayer calendar while searching a suspect's home. The agent allegedly wrote, "Islam is Evil, Christ is King'' on the calendar in the Dearborn, Mich., home of Omar Shishani, arrested for allegedly possessing $12 million in fake cashier's checks.
The agent could face criminal charges.
You are welcome!
Lots of work, all screen captures cropped and sized.
Still want to paint out all ‘framing’ solid black.
I had to be sneaky to put the cursor next to each picture to get the ‘lights on’ screen capture, lol. [mouse overs!]
Your white T-bird is really pretty.
.
A few mods and it could be a Baby Mark II Continental - Change to squared-off headlight bezels instead of T-Bird hooded bezels, fill in the porthole in the top, do some simple reshaping/smoothing bodywork on the front and rear fenders, mold a continental spare tire shape into the trunk like the Mk II -
I recall seeing a mid 50s T-Bird at custom car and hot rod show in Davie Florida that was perfectly customized into a Baby 2-seater Caddy roadster -
I wish my MarkII WAS a T-bird. The MarkII never really excited me, lol. Pretty but huge.
You can [naturally] use any and all of those gifs as you like, they are in C-gifs right now. 419w X 301h

T-Birds and ‘Vettes were pretty tight on space - A Healey or Triumph actually had easier access for storage behind the seats -
I can imagine trying to squeeze a big load of groceries in a T-Bird trunk -
The big mistake that Ford made was upsizing the T-Bird to a 5-passenger in ‘58
Tring to design and sell a bigger T-Bird while the Mk II was still in production and dropping competing with Corvettes was not smart
I like small sporty cars though. In a book I have on MarkII’s, they said only 300 or 400 were made in ‘57. I’m not as familiar as you on the history of the T-Birds but to me they typify the 1950’s.
When the kids were young and my car was in the shop, I once had to use a plain ol’ Toyota to drive them hundreds of miles to camp. I actually liked the maneuverability of the small car.
