    Greg, welcome to Squarebirds. You really have a beautiful car. Your wife has exquisite taste in classic cars, and I hope you both enjoy many years of great cruises.

    My friend, Richard Hord, lives near you. I hope you guys get together as good weather is approaching fast and you guys can cruise together.

    It looks like your car is pretty much done, but if you have any questions about it, let us know. This site has many great restorers and enthusiasts who spent their whole lives with their Thunderbird. - Dave

      Greg she is a beauty and I am sure your wife will love going for a cruise. I started off with getting my wife a 58 HT and then liked it so much, I got myself a 60 HT to take both to the S&S'S together. There is hope for you as well. Great pixs and love the colour. What interior code is on the 59??

          The Interior is "Hickory Tan" I was told, the code by the build sheet is "5Y" which says tan and white. I will post pics on the Interior in a day or so. I have to take them first The seats and headliner are original and in great shape. The carpet, back deck, dash and door panels are new. NOS.... maybe, dont know..... the car has been garaged it's whole life. We plan on cruising the car tomorrow, so I will try to take the pics then.

              Hi Greg!

              That is one beautiful Bird! Your wife has a true thing of beauty to drive around in! It looks like it has been well taken care of. I am looking forward to seeing the interior pix when you can get them posted. And a pic of the '59 Dodge and the '59 Tbird together would be cool!

                Agree with everybody here. Beutiful car. I was very close to buy a Gold ( Tan? ) colored ´60 just before I found "Ruth".
                I think gold colors is the perfect mix between Hot Rod and Elegance. It works for every situation from the "BBQ with the blokes" as well as going to the opera

                    Yes, this will be our 3rd car show season this year. We go up in the Louisville area and down to the towns near bowling green. You will see us up in Louisville, if you know of any shows on the May 1-2 weekend let me know. Greg.

                            LOL..... I drive it the most, but my wife is always saying "Lets take out the T-Bird" Last Saturday we planned on taking her car and mine to a cruise in, I have a 59 Dodge, at the last minute we ended up leaving the Dodge in her garage and just cruised the T-Bird.... I bought new leaf springs I need to put on this weekend, plus a CVR for the gauges.
