Car History
Early in 2004 a Quality Assurance Engineer from North American Aircraft Corporation decided to do a full body-off
restoration on his 1957 Thunderbird.
He proceeded to completely disassemble the vehicle including; removing the engine, transmission, undercarriage
components suspension / steering components and separated the body from the chassis.
The chassis and all undercarriage components were powder coated gloss black. This powder coating included: frame,
suspension components, steering components, brake components and rear axel housing.
After frame was coated, new brakes, brake lines, gas tank and fuel lines were added. The engine and transmission
were professionally rebuilt and assembled into the chassis. The rolling chassis was topped off with four new
chrome Kelsey Hayes type 14 inch spoked rims and new Cooker radial whitewall tires.
The body was sent out for a rotisserie Starmist Blue paint job. After painting, body and chassis were mated at his
workshop. It was later sent out to Prestige Thunderbird, Santa Fe Springs, CA, for a complete new interior, seat
upholstery, dashboard, all panels and a new white top, headliner, glass and associated hardware.
Once back in his garage he proceeded to finish the rest of the restoration process. Unfortunately, The Engineer
fell ill in 2009 and passed away early 2010 without completing his project. The car was covered and in his garage,
where it remained for the next nine years.
Needless to say when I purchased the car in March of 2017, it was not running and many items had frozen over time.
The car had been run at some point during the restoration, as the odometer indicated five miles had been put on the
car. Odometer currently at 110 miles.
