Product Description
The Thunderbird was originally designed to be small and racywith a unique look and personality that would set it apart from its contemporaries. Although never intended to be a sports car, it was only 52.1" high and its 102 wheelbase was an inch and a half shorter than that of the Model A!

Luxurious enough for the most discriminating buyer, the 1955 model offered plush vinyl upholstery, "Astra Dial" control panel, adjustable steering wheel, tachometer and clock, all standard. Yet with its 292 cubic inch V-8 engine (rated at 198 horsepower), four barrel carburetor and dual exhausts, it was high-spirited enough for any enthusiast. The car was recognized immediately as a breakthrough in automotive engineering and design and soon developed a dedicate owner body. Although the original two-seated Thunderbird was manufactured for only three years, it was so advanced in concept that its influence in the automobile industry is still being felt today as the Ford Motor Company again presents its descendents. 

  Despite many changes through the forty years leading to itsdemise in the mid-nineties and re-birth on 2001 Thunderbird retainedits individuality and has earned its soubriquet "Unique in all theWorld".In these page one can revisit and enjoy another look at theunique world which is....

I ordered a used copy THUNDERBIRD!. It was advertized as being in good condition.
It was recieved in like new condition. New cost is about $48. I got it for $11 + shipping. I was very satisfied with this transaction.

Black and White Bliss!
For a T-Bird restoration enthusiast, this book is an amazing resource.The pictures are mostly in black and white. Color would've made it '5-stars'. Nontheless, without a shadow of doubt the book itself is truly a T-Bird lover's collector item.There is a great lot of detail on the A-40 (1954-1957) models. Since I'm doing a 1957, it truly works for me.

The book is a collector's piece in itself
I have owned this book for about 16 or 17 years. It is a fine reference piece, but it should not be compared to current Thunderbird books. There are scores of close-up photographs that show the finer points of Thunderbirds, from the Volumatic Radio to the SwingAway Steering Wheel. The black and white photos do not in any way detract from the history or technological correctness of everything that is presented. If you need color photographs then look elsewhere. If you want well-researched data and wonderful close-ups, then this is the book for you. The book itself is a collector's item because of its period correctness and the fact that when it was published there was no other book that could come close to it in lavishness or completeness. I think that still holds true today.

Thunderbird!
This book has a lot of good information on 1955 thru 1966 Thunderbirds. Although not complete with respect to information on every aspect of a concours restoration, and hindered by mostly black and white photos of thedetails of each year, it is still an excellent resource for anyonerestoring a 1966 or older Thunderbird. It is especially good for thoseinterrested in the two seaters from 55 - 57. This is a good book for theTbird owner as well as those who just plain lovewhat is probably the mostinnovative and trend setting car of the post war era. A must have for anyThunderbird lover. ...

Voyeur. Bandit. Hound. Ron Galella has been called every name in the book. In 1955, fresh out of the United States Air Force, he became a paparazzo--and redefined the genre. From his notoriously obsessive treatment of Jackie Onassis and the subsequent legal battles associated with it, to his alarmingly beautiful photographs of celebrities in the 60s and 70s, Galella has always been in a category of his own. Possessed of a unique talent to catch stars at moments when they seemed most alive, most human, most stylish, Galella was able to do something no other celebrity watcher was able to do: become a star himself.Featuring images of: Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Cher, Liz Taylor, Marlon Brando, Ali McGraw, Farrah Fawcett, Robert Redford, Raquel Welch, Mick Jagger

The Best
This is a great book. Ron Galella took very chic, very flattering black and white photos of STARS when the world actually had STARS - not the tabloid trash that we have today. Great printing and art direction - a classic. ... Read more

Product Description
As did Warhol by Makos, this volume contains a relentless sequence of photos of Andy Warhol, taken by his long-time friend and companion Christopher Makos. Unlike that first book, this one is comprised of photographs which have mostly never been published, pictures of the more private, reserved Warhol. The man who promised everyone 15 minutes of fame would perhaps appreciate having these pictures put out for the public posthumously: pictures of him at the Pompidou, clowning around during Lent, with Fred Hughes on a private plane, in front of the original The Last Supper, corseted and getting a massage, on the deck of Calvin Klein's Fire Island beach house, modeling in an 80s Op-Art shirt, at The Factory with everyone from Catherine Guinness to Georgia O'Keeffe, kissing everyone from Dalí to John Lennon, working out, skiing in Aspen, and shopping in Upstate New York.
