Jim Elijah just recently had his old light blue top replaced with a new dark blue one. It really sets the car off better with the darker blue color, IMHO.. Here are a couple of pix.

2) Enough fuel in your tank

Yes, got rid of the wire wheels. Between my 56 Tbird and the 59, I had 9 flat tires in about 3 years. Since the tires on both cars were new, new tubes were put in place when installed. The new tubes are crap! All of the tubes split where there is a seam when going from the sidewall to the tread area, none against the rims as I had expected.
So both cars now have their optional hubcaps on steel wheels.Comment

I don't know when or why wire wheels became in vogue on Thunderbirds. Other than the 62-63 Sport Roadsters I don't remember any Thunderbirds having wire wheels from the factory. I saw lots of 55-57 Thunderbirds back in the day and none of them had wires. I think it was a 70's thing like leisure suits and platform shoes. To tell you the truth I wish they would go the same way.
