This is Bob Jackman's 1963 Thunderbird Sports Roadster. At bottom right of video, once opened, click on "Full Screen" option:

Awesome! Always nice to see (and hear! ). Two things:
1) I never knew about that passenger "grab bar." 🤔 🤔
2) I had no idea these roadsters were so expensive! Over $6,000, yikes... that was Cadillac money! 😮 😮

@chris If you added A/C, AM/FM radio and power door locks the price would be close to $7,000. Just got the top mechanism working again. It's always something with these old cars.

@bob-jackman Bob, many sweet cars at the show but yours stands out. I hope you took home the "Best of Show" trophy?

Thanks Guys. John it was not a judged event just a cruise in however the car has won several Best of Show awards. Five and a half years and a lot of money for materials and parts.

@pete-rovero Pete, you can understand why the model you did of the 62 is so important to me even if it's not a 63.
