Sigurbjorn SUBS 16th Jul 2020		This is 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria
Jock_Girl 16th May 2014		I think the idea is that they are trying to related the revolutionary new design concepts of the Ford Thunderbird to the other vehicles made by Ford. The punctuation is all the difference ... Ford's Thunderbird Power and Styling ... versus Ford Thunderbird's Power and Styling. In other words (the) Thunderbird Power and Styling of Ford versus (the) Power and Styling of (the) Ford Thunderbird The idea is that you can have the same concepts that make the Fodr Thunderbird a radically new vehicle in a family car.
Remember 16th May 2014		@ Excello-2101 ... LOL ... so now we're stuck with the mystery question : why did they get it wrong on the card! thanks for your info, John, how interesting!
Excello-2101 SUBS 15th May 2014		Yeah, I'm pretty sure that it's not a Thunderbird. Here are some of the reasons. First, the early T-Birds had some chrome hash marks (nine of them I think) on the fender just in front of the door hinges that don't appear to be in this photo. Second, the 1956 T-Bird is famous for its "porthole" of a rear window on the hardtops, which, even though the scantly dressed female is partially blocking, is not evident here. Third, There is a long chrome piece that starts just above the headlight on the Fairlane and runs across the top of the fender and down to the door, and then to the back of the car. This separates the two colors on the often two-toned Fairlanes. This feature doesn't exist on the '55 or '56 T-Bird. In fact, I don't recall ever seeing a two-toned Thunderbird from these years. Fourth, if you look at the front bumper, the two vertical parts are in a sort of bullet shape on the Thunderbird, not so on the Fairlane. All-in-all, without being an expert in either one of these styles of car, I think it's safe to say that the picture on the postcard is a Fairlane rather than a Thunderbird. But, I have been wrong before, ask my two ex-wives.
Remember 15th May 2014		@ Excello-2101 ... I don't know all that much about cars, are you sure? ..that would be so funny! If so, then why did they show a different Ford on the card, when on the rear-side of the card, all they do is praise "Ford Thunderbird". ..It's been awhile since I played this record but I think that on it, even Rosie Clooney is mad about it, and she recommends it to everyone ... :))
Excello-2101 SUBS 15th May 2014		Unless I'm very much mistaken, the car in the picture is not a Thunderbird, but is a 1956 Ford Fairlane. A '56 Fairlane was my very first car as a teen, just getting my drivers license. Mine was two toned black and white. Ah, nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
