Wouldn't have said this when the car was new, or even a decade or so ago.  But today, the styling of the '61 T-Bird's has won me over.  Beautiful photos John!

I agree with you George. Over time a certain styling can 'age' in our vision of it and become as classic to us as others that we instantly accepted as vintage beauty. And John, the color works exceptionally well due, in part, I think, to the dark background. NICELY done!

Many times I have come to like a design when I disliked it when introduced but I liked the bullet birds from day one. John, your pictures are really outstanding.

The only variant of the Bullet Bird that I liked back then was the white Sport Roadster faux 2-seater that Kookie used to valet park for the guys at "77 Sunset Strip". Great pics, John.
