"rare" craigskist find.

What do you guys think. Don't see many porthole ones around! http://abbotsford.en.craigslist.ca/cto/3966932357.html

It actually looks OK

It looks like its in great shape. I just wish that when someone lists their car for sale (on any site) that they would actually put some info and better (more) pictures in the add. That is definitely a rare sight...

awesome i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! Never seen one before. I like it. Does anyone know how many made? What plant made them? [/b]

it looks 70'ish !!

the porthole looks good on this car, I think its the color of the car, with the white vinyl top, I have seen it on others, and it just doesn't match.

That is a dealer or after-market addition

Car looks clean from the 2 pics

The holes for the top and port hole ruin the car though

Looks like a good car to me, but i'm not crazy about the porthole myself...but it is different

it was a popular modification back then also it helped with the blind spot in the fastbacks.

It sure looks in great condition, says all original and mother bought new, with the 351 in it, could be a great deal "if as advertised". Don't care for the porthole but other wise nice!

Only in Canada and those crazy westerners. BC ers. Have cousins in Abbotsford. Crazy folk.

Those opera windows (aka porthole windows) were becoming a 'fad' or popular item at the time. Personally I rarely liked them. The factory ones on other cars were OK. I just never cared much for the aftermarket add-on stuff. (still don't).

But the 56 or 57 Thunderbird with factory porthole top is nice!

Interesting reading on the hsitory of these windows:

Looks like a really nice car otherwise. It would be a real attention getter. Just wouldn't want the owner to try and pass that window as "original from Ford"...
