Several Hard Rock Cafes around the world have issued a classic thunderbird pin at one time or other. I have seen them from Spain and Sweden. Have never found one for myself. However, received an early Christmas present in the mail yesterday, from a friend, who sent me a pin from the Hard Rock Cafe in Biloxi, Mississippi. It was a 2008 issue. It’s of a blue 1957 Thunderbird. Photo is on the collectible list on this site.
Worked last night on getting photos of the current Lemax 55 “sports car” on the site. Special thanks to Marty for sending me good clear photos of the model.
Also working on an addition to the Ford station wagon page in the Thunderbird Etc… pages, adding in a list of scale models of the 57 Ford wagon. Plus a new page in the scale models for Continental Mark II models. Yes, branching out some to cover some of the other scale models I have on hand.
Updated the memorabilia page tonight with photos from Steve Legel of the Steak N Shake kid’s meal boxes, some greeting cards found in Walmart and Dollar tree, along with a brochure sent to me a friend. Also some of my own scans and photos.
Found out recently that SteakNShake is celebrating their 75th Anniversary and have car shaped boxes to present their meals in. They have started with the 55 Tbird in 3 color styles using the Kid Stuff 55/56 tbird box that’s been out for a number of years. The SNS boxes are in yellow, green, and blue with different syled flames on each and stickers to add onto the boxes. If there’s a SNS restaurant in your neighborhood, they sell the boxes for $1. I’ll have photos of the boxes on my site within the next few days – on the collectibles page.
