I have absolutely no self control, and I believe that Signor Perrone is partly to blame. His photos and descriptions of the models in his reviews are so amazing, and in some cases so provocative that the model becomes irresistible. If you think I’m exaggerating, go back to his reviews are so on the pink ‘57 Thunderbird. When I stumbled across this auction, the memories of his photos came swirling back to me like, and I had no choice but to hit the ‘buy it now’ prompt.

I remember writing that as I was growing English Tea Roses beside the house at the time. Whatever, no self control, no money, no patience for a better deal - baloney; this is one diecast you HAVE to have - period.
Congrats!

@perrone1 I’m really looking forward to receiving this one Tony, Seller claims it to be another new, never displayed with all paperwork and brochure. I’ve always thought the ‘57 was the best looking Thunderbird of them all, and I’m a sucker for the 1950’s colors. This one hit the mark dead center and at a very, very nice price. I am batting close to 300 Geno, but I need to slow down now that there’s going to be another mouth to feed

you've grabbed one of the best there Kevin. Well done. As for Tonys pics and write ups, there are 1000s of DM and FM models in collections worldwide because of Tonys efforts. One can only guess as the the value to the bottom lines of DM and FM!

C’mon guys, you’re making feel weird. A lot of what drew me to the model was the amazing ‘50’s color! To me it fits the ‘Bird perfectly.
