56 T-Bird Portholes
Can any tell me who might have made hinged portholes for the Baby Birds? There doesn't seem to be any markings on the glass. I do know the car was destined for overseas when built. Maybe made there?
Thanks-Bernie |

That's a new one on me - never heard of hinged portholes on a baby bird.

Re: 56 T-Bird Portholes
That is the general response that I get everywhere. I just wonder who and where it came from? My Bird also has very different fender skirts. Has 4 slots cut through, with chrone hash bars (similar to the ones on the front fenders) to simulate louvers. Also the stone geard and moulding appears to be Aluminum. I suspect european because tiny brass nuts and studs hold the hash bars on. Like Jaguar Bently, and my prefect etc. used.

Re: 56 T-Bird Portholes
Sounds like some one has modified the car. No Tbirds were made outside the US except in Mexico, and these basically were kits supplied by Ford to Mexico.

Re: 56 T-Bird Portholes
I didn't mean the Bird was built out of the US. I meant the Portholes. I have the original Build Sheet for the car. An extra letter on the ID plate on the firewall, suggests it was destined for shipping out of US.
