We reckon the Ford Thunderbird, (the 1957 variety), must be one of the most commonly represented in graphic art in the history of the auto industry.<\/p>\n

Not only was it a truly radical departure for mid century production Americana: this was totemic of a shift away from the behemoth family barges that were procreated in the name of reaching out to the consumerist masses of the Mad Man era.<\/a><\/p>\n

Not surprising, when you look at how radical the design was, that it was made into a fetish by The Beach Boys<\/a>. If you were going to nick mom and dad’s car, it was always going to be the T-bird – it was a ground-up manifestation of a certain sort of American teen dream even if your parents had to be wealthy to buy one.<\/p>\n

But never mind the vehicle: check out the cool American modernism of the architecture here! Just underlines the fact that this car was a true modern classic.<\/p>\n
