[Closed] Pics: 58 Thunderbird; Franklin Mint

I have always liked this one.

Good proportions, nicely detailed grille and wheel covers. Pretty good model.

I like it, too. And this dates from about 25 years ago.

I remember my Mom buying this for me at the GM pavilion in

Disney World about twenty five years ago. At one time Disney actually sold Franklin Mint models. I think I was about 17 years old at the time. Where did the time go!

I got one for 8 bucks at an estate sale - mint but no box.

One of the better FMs, but the hubcaps seem a little dark to me.

Those are the sort of stories I love reading from you folk in the US.

Much of the discussion here is about nostalgia and it's fascinating to read little snippets of us all growing up in different countries with different experiences... but united by a common love of little cars.

John, I also learned so much about the history of automobiles through collecting. I doubt many people my age even know what a "square bird" is. I'm thankful to my parents who acknowledged my love of cars and purchased hundreds of models for me when I was very young.
