I'm still upset that I passed on that '57 'Bird, waiting for a repaint.😥

Looks like a Cruise-in going on today! WOO HOO!

Nice 56 Chevy Hollis!

T-Bird Bronze Poly is the best color for this car bar none!

I'd have broken my back to get to the mail box for that puppy!  I asked DM for a gunmetal gray 57 Bird with the same wire wheels, red interior and matching-color hard auxiliary top. Like this one:

I see so many baby birds with these wire wheels which do look great. Being a purist when it comes to originality I have to admit that it bothers me that many think these were available when these baby birds were new. The first time the Kelsey Hayes wire wheels were available on a Thunderbird was on the 1962 Sports Roadster and as an option for the other 62 Birds.

@perrone1 Sweet, I'd been extremely happy with that color combo too.🤑

Yep, too true. On Minter's site, they fess up to this but most people opt for the higher price, but much nicer looking wires. I think I probably would too.
