      Production for '58 T-birds began on December 20, 1957 at Wixom Assembly Plant (a week after '57 T-bird production stopped at Dearborn Assembly); going off of memory, public introduction of them was February 17 '58. That is part of the reason why production at 38,000+ units was lowest of the three model years of Squarebirds.

            Sue if you send me your VIN # offline in a PM e-mail, I will decode it for you and then you keep in your files.

                My parents 1958 Thunderbird 2-dr Hardtop will be on June 26th. It's really hard to think of her turning 50yrs old.

                  Ruth 50!

                  ....Once upon a time, in Wixom, Michigan, a worker put on the last screw to a car that a half century later, on the other side of the globe, would still make his owner happy.
                  Happy Birthday Ruth!

                            Ruth was not impressed by Mr.T. It was something about he is to old for her....
