Take some time to look at the paint in these pictures. See that almost halo-like glow? That's thanks to the modern Pearl White paint. This recent application lives up to its name by adding a lustrous metal flake within the white, which gets highlighted even further when it gets cleared over. The result is a heavenly Thunderbird every time the sunshine hits this droptop. So while the paint is modern, it radiates the kind of luxury we bet Ford would have done if they had the technology back in '55.
