Tom is a new member who hales from Oregon. He just sent me pix of his beautiful '57 Babybird "Amelia". She has recently won a 2011 VTCI "Best In Show" and the 2011 Concours D Elegance "Best In Class"! He says this about her.
"The under dash AC unit (not dataplate correct) was removed right after this photo - other than this she is 100% original except for disc brakes and radial tires. The picture of her on the bridge was taken in the Columbia River Gorge between Oregon and Washington - note the lisc plate "Fly 57"."
Tom is considering the possible purchase of that light green '58 Squarebird that we have been seeing offered for sale by that museum in St. Lous. Here is the website. http://www.stlouiscarmuseum.com/stlc...te.asp?id=1401
There is one thing strange about that '58 Tbird that we have noticed. It has, for the beginnings of the VIN # H8YJ instead of H8YH. Also, it appears that the Data Plate has been replaced and this might be a reproduction. I know that a number of you have looked at this Tbird and commented on it. If you know anything about it that would be of assistance to Tom in making a decision regarding a possible purchase, or not, please feel free to post. I will post that Data Plate for you to view also. Here are the pix.
