CAR'S MAKE AND MODEL: 1962 Ford Thunderbird convertible
"WE LOVE OUR CAR BECAUSE ... this is a car we found in a farmer's barn in Sedro-Woolley that had been there for many years. When we got it, it used about a quart of oil in 100 miles so the engine was rebuilt and we love driving it on nice days. The bright yellow T-Bird is always easy to find in a parking lot."

Beautiful car. I always have like the '62 bird, looks like a jet fighter taking off. Lucky guy!

Awesome car... I love that model. It looks like a rocket ship! Just saw a couple early 60's T-Birds at the big memorial day car show. Thanks for putting out the effort to restore your great car find!

I bet it gets great gas mileage! You have to be stupid to own such a Dino.

Looks like John is jealous. Most likely owns a kia or borrowed mommy.s
