That is an incredible car, it was restored a few years back in a fabulous fords magazine article. I think it ended up selling at Barrett Jackson. I believe it was called the Italien.

Wow never seen that before, very cool.  That timeframe was a very good era for Ford styling, IMO.  The only other years of T-bird I would consider owning are the early to mid-60's "bullet birds".  I love the early to mid-60's Fairlanes and Comets too.

In order to "talk" about something it helps to have something more than just a single photo that has been posted across several forums and web pages..... :D

I like it.  I always thought the boxy roofs they put on those cars looked a little out of place.
