From 1957: The Single Most Fabulous Car That Ever Existed And The Very Definition Of "A Cherry Ride"



1957 Ford Thunderbird


Such a beauty. I just asked Ken if I could have one. He said that he was pretty sure that our homeowner's association would have a problem with my owning a car that took up half a city block. So it's a one-two punch to my dreams of owning Le Auto De Glamour: My man and The man both say No. Now, how's a girl supposed to express her inner bombshell if forces conspire against her like that? Would Mickey Hargitay have said No to Jayne Mansfield? (Ken: "Would who have said No to who? Do we know these people?")

  1. That photo of the house/car/couple is the alternative life I always wanted...

  2. Can anyone identify the location of the above house, and the next two houses beside this one. These three houses are used extensively in the 1955-57 Ford promo pictures. l feel these houses are located in Dearborn, MI.
