No totally happy with the backdrop as I usually like to isolate the car preferably with a house or building behind it, but still a very cool car.

This T-Bird is truly a Blast from the Past! The convertible version of this was truly a boulevard cruiser; my understanding is that this model series was inferior to the two seaters in little things like cornering and braking. As you probably have gathered I preferred the two seater models. Good photo, BTW.
 
Mr Ed's car! I had a service station on the Gulf Coast back in the prehistoric past, and the employees came w/ it when I bought it from Lion Oil. The main man was Ed, a very good looking older Black man who called me Mr Steve, and I had to tell him over and over it's just Steve. Ed had an eye for the ladies, and they had one for him. When he bought a T-Bird that looked exactly like this one, well, them ladies almost did him AND me in! They sure loved that T-Bird. Fast cars won't kill you nearly as quickly as fast women.

Tell it, My Brother! My main man for used photo gear says, "Photography is an expensive hobby. But, its cheaper than collecting cars, and FAR cheaper and SAFER, than having a Mistress." To only which I can say, "Amen!"
