Make-A-Wish
Another VINTAGE 'Wish' Granted!
 On Behalf of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Sacramento & Northeastern California, we wish to thank everyone for making the 2008 Vintage Fridays Car Shows. The amazing $8,230.00 donation to Make-A-Wish helped support us continue our mission of granting wishes to children with life threatening medical conditions with Hope, Strength and Joy. Wish child, Jonathan, who is 5 years old loves Winnie the Pooh and Elmo. He often speaks Pooh's name several times a day. So where else would a fan of Pooh's want to go but to Disney World to see all of his favorite Disney characters. Jonathan's disease is called Hydrocephalus but this energetic only child loves to sing and play with his truck which the Make-A-Wish volunteers brought him to play with during their visit. As his Mom pointed out that Jonathan is "their little miracle" and his miracle trip to Disney World was a dream come true. It takes many hand and hearts to make a wish come true, we appreciate your efforts in organizing the wonderful Vintage Friday's Car Shows that contributed to the visions and dreams of our wish children and once again, thank you for "Sharing The Power of a Wish!" Your support reflects an appreciation for the impact of our mission, and we are grateful for your faith in us. We wish to thank you once again for contributing to the visions and dreams of our children. You are very much appreciated by everyone involved with the magic of making wishes come true.  Sacramento Vintage Ford would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to our Sponsors, Supporters, Volunteers, The Gold Country Cruisers and to all the folks who stop by with their vehicles. And of course to all of you neat people who buy the Make-A-Wish tickets.....you make our events! Thank You! |

Rare Bird
First Production 1955 Ford Thunderbird
Do you like your birds rare?
Though it's not quite on the endangered species list
just yet, there's no doubt that any 1955 Ford Thunderbird is a desirable classic car, and none more so than this particular example, which just so happens to be the first T-Bird ever produced. Powered by its original 292 cubic-inch V8 engine and automatic transmission, this car was restored to completely original condition back in 1965 -- just 10 years after it was first built, and it's also the same car that underwent the first instrumented testing of the T-Bird in the October edition of Sports Illustrated magazine.
According to the Ford Motor Company, which confirms the car's unique status, this is the most valuable Thunderbird in existence, and it earned a whopping $660,000 at this year's Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The rarest of all "Birds"
If your one of the millions of avid Thunderbird owners, restorers or fans, you may have wondered about the very first Thunderbird ever produced. What became of it? Where is it now? How did it look originally? Ford Motor Company and Barrett Jackson are pleased to bring you up to date on the rarest and most valuable T-Bird built by Ford Motor Company.
As you can see, the black beauty is very much alive. It was produced at the Michigan factory on September 9, 1954. This car came equipped with the 292 "Y" block. Fordomatic transmission, power steering, windows and seats. The wheelbase is 102". The BMP
rating is 198 and the weight of the vehicle is 3250 lbs. One of the first performance road test of the newly-created Thunderbird car was by a national magazine was tested on this same car. "Sports Illustrated" did an article October 4, 1954 entitled "Testing the Thunderbird", and the first T-Bird was used as the test vehicle. Ford verified the status of this car in 1966, designated as the most valuable T-Bird in existence. This car has captured the attention of writers, collectors and car buffs throughout the United States and globally. This car has been featured in magazines, books, promotions, internet blogs, television shows and more. It has also made many special appearances at various museums, car shows and special events like the 1984 Olympics.
The Ford Motor Company has and continues to commission the car, usually in its private trailer to various events such as their national conferences and car shows including Ford headquarters in Dearborn, MI.
