Collector Classics: 1956 Ford Thunderbird
Dan is well known for owning his 1959 Corvette for more than half a century and driving it 450,000 miles on trips all over North America. He keeps the car in top condition and it will never leave him. The Corvette means a lot to him because his mother was hoping he would buy an early two-seat Thunderbird – the car she always wanted. “I was serious about a light blue 1957 Thunderbird before I bought the Corvette,” Dan recalls. “The owner and I were one hundred dollars apart and no one would give way. I called back two days later to discover the car was sold.”
