Yes! Gorgeous car, isn't it? Mine was originally some sort of medium blue with tan interior, but I am going to keep the light beige-gray the sedan has, and use the mahogany or darker red interior and black top with vermillion edging, as the pic you posted has there specified. That is the idea...

Great! Thank you very much, guys! I knew most trim and bits were the same (except for the two door versus four door items), but with your help, now I know the front fenders, hood, rear fenders and dashboard are the same. That helps a lot with the project. Basically the idea is to get the...

A few pics...

Thanks! The donor car I have, a sedan, is really very good. In fact, were it not for the fact that it's sacrifice will help build a great convertible, I would keep it as it is! It has a real good grill, handles, an engine that purrs like a kitten.... great car, really. Glad to know everthing...

Hi guys. Long time, no post.... I have a 1939 Mercury with a reasonable body but otherwise completely "run down", it needs EVERYTHING done. I decided my best bet was to buy a reasonable sedan to use for parts, and I found a very good one which I am about to get. Basic question is: How much...

Thank you guys! I should be getting the station wagon next week. Thanks for all the help! Great forum!

Thanks for the link! And no, I don't believe the car is the one mentioned as this one is in Mexico. Victor

When I saw it, I honestly did not check what it had behind under carpet. I will check as soon as I get it. Thanks! Victor

Thanks for the responses. Sorry to hear the parts are not manufactured any longer! I did find Snyder's has the spring structure for the seats. I should get the station wagon next week and post pictures. Thanks again, Victor

Hi guys! I am about to purchase a 1929 Woody, a 4 door station wagon, which is basically a very good older restoration, but for some reason I don't understand (and neither does the son of the owner) there is no rear seats for it, only the front one. I am not sure but I don't believe there is any...

Wow! Beautiful car in gorgeous condition! Much better than mine! Congratulations!!

Thanks!! I am happy with it and intend to eventually get it back to it's original yellow but trying to maintain as much original patina as possible.

And a few more pics of the car... You will probably notice that the Speedometer is in kilometers, up to 240

Attached is a pic of my plate... and just under it you will see the original yellow color. And by the way, as far as I understand, in the Mexico plant they were not cautious with marking the plates other than the car number. I have other mexican cars with no information on color or any options...

Yes, my car is a medium yellow color originally with a black and white interior, so dashpad is black. By the way, it also has the hardtop but covered with vynil (which I have never seen before but I guess it is not common) and it looks very old and correct, so it may have been sold that way...

Thank you guys! I found this option with dashes direct, apparently made with Ford original tooling and aproved by Ford which seems like a reasonable deal: https://dashesdirect.com/product/1957-t-bird-original-tooling-dash-pad/ I will also take a look with the other sources you reccomend...

Hi everybody, and merry Christmas. Santa brought me a one owner 1957 Thunderbird with about 40,000 original miles. A great original car who's biggest sin was that it had a color change, from yellow (Inca gold?) to a bright orange. It is very complete and still has it's original interior, in...

Yes, that is my car. It looks decent but it is not fully correct. It has a much nicer top that what they originally used (I got it this way already) and uphostery is a bit off also... pleats are too pronounced. Background is an acueduct we have here in Queretaro, Mexico. Here is the car with an...

Hey, Piewagon! This is the best explanation I could have ever hoped for! Sorry I thanked you till now but I hadn't been able to get into the forum. I will print and try the procedure this weekend... and if I my diaphragm needs replacement, I will sure contact you. Your page shows you make...

Bringing up this old subject, I found a suitable horn, just as the one Tmodelmal posted in his pics, painted it and installed it in the car. It looks great, fits great in the correct bolts, but question here is sound: it makes a nice buzz (not sure if I would call it a sad cow, as he described)...
