Queasy Rods: Thunderbird Fords





"Easy Rods" other available kit is one I've stumbled across before. However it now seems to be available in infinite varieties, from '49 Ford to '49 Mercurys to '55 Crown Vics. The one thing the all share though is that they're all based off the '89-'97 Thunderbird - a point that is painfully driven home if you look between the wheel wells. The early 50's designs look as attractive on the angular 80's styling of the T-Bird as Micheal Jackson wearing a poodle skirt. Almost makes the Belaro period correct.

Random thoughts: Maybe this car was inspired by Micheal Jackson, given that as he aged he started to morph into a poor representation of what Liz Taylor looked like in the 50's...
