The lever was stuck in his arm after he wrecked his brand-new Thunderbird back in '63.
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 "We see all kinds of foreign objects like nails or pellets, but...usually not a turn signal from a 1963 T-Bird,” Gotta be the medical quote of the year. You just can't make this stuff up.
unclescott58 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Despite the photo, I'm a little skeptical on this one. I don't no why? But, the flags are up on this one. Scott
my80malibu Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 For being a New car, the tire wear pattern shown in the picture of the passenger side. Indicates that it was going to be in a wreck at some point in its near future.
vintagedragcrazy Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Your right that tire was bald on the inside hard to believe that tire could wear down that fast being new it had to have a serious alignment problem. Vince
Joe Handley Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Could be, earlier this year I was talking to a guy that works at the local Goodyear store about alignments (planning on getting the 200 re-aligned when I put new rubber on it) and if that car had been in their shop yet (at that point, just my Jeep for tires). He was telling me that they had a new Fusion come in with all 4 tires looking what sounded as though it was a whole lot like that car,if not worse..............and it didn't even have 10k on the clock yet! He was wondering if the factory even bothered to check the alignment or if the associated parts were the right length before they even went on the car, it was so far off!
wrecker388 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 I saw that the other day and thought it was different. You typically don't hear of car parts being left in a person for 51 years.
mnwildpunk Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 A guy I work with used to work for ford and the cars that get shipped by rail get bindered down so tight that it knocks the alignment out of whack.

What would explain the Fusion I mentioned then, also just confirms my preference for solid axles too!
Maindrian Pace Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I bet when he used hand signals, the lights would blink automatically.
