2025 Fircrest Picnic and Rod Run
We had our July meeting at the Fircrest car show on July 6th this year. I (Tim and Heidi Crawford) were in an accident on the way to the show. Pictured at top, our car was parked on a sloped drive at our home waiting to be loaded for the show that morning when I looked out the window of our home and saw the bird rolling down the drive! I had left it in “P” without the E-brake on and it failed to hold it. It made a zzttzzttzztt sound as it rolled down the drive about 60 ft before it had crossed the street and into a shallow ditch then hit a small rock wall. I was able to get it off the wall with it’s own power and dislodged a couple of rocks and bent the bottom of the bumper in the process. Yet we were able to immediately drive it to the show. No other damage. At the show, we were gathered near the edge of the park behind the backstop against a private fence at the show. We enjoyed a good amount of food and beverages, a lot of cars and even some friends were there with other cars or just visiting. The Baileys met an old friend there they hadn’t seen in over 20 yrs! Quite a commemorative event. The music and weather were good. The club had 3 cars attend and we received our goody bags, raffle tickets and dash plaques. Only minor issues with our cars were found. The hoods were opened and compartments were appreciated. It was a successful meeting and show. We were truly blessed by it all.

Colors offered by Ford for Thunderbirds
1955-2005
This post is here to show the names and hues of exterior colors offered as options on Ford Thunderbirds throughout the line over it’s entire lifespan of 50 years. Colors are part of the emotional side of automotive design like styling and interiors the color and it’s name will evoke images and feelings that the onlooker will react to. Ford has tried to get this reaction to inspire the right stuff in onlookers that it’s cars would be liked and thus purchased, admired or sought after. The palette changes every year to cause a change in this reaction. some colors are always present while others come and go. This list reveals that 1955 comes in with the least amount of choices with 5 while 1971comes in with the most choices at 25 having 4 greens, 7 blues and 6 browns among the hues that year. You can find the detailed list for these and other cars at the website: https://PaintRef.com
