Topic starter  

for an "American Graffiti" sequel. In the mid 1950s, pink was all the rage. It was no longer for women only. I remember proudly sporting a pink shirt with charcoal trim to grade school thinking I was at the height of fashion. I pictured this 1957 "Thunderbird Dusk Rose" T-bird cruising with Terry and Debbie along the boulevard. This is a very beautiful model by Danbury Mint that is just head and shoulders above their first '56 small bird over a quarter century ago.

This is a beautiful model that I have in my collection.  The small wheels are a bit of a distraction but I still like the model.
