Beverly Collins spent two days just cleaning the underside of her 1956 Ford Thunderbird before driving it to the World of Wheels Custom Auto Show this weekend.
“It’s a lot of work, but I love it,” Collins said, as she proudly stood beside her fiesta red Thunderbird, which she drove from Dalton, Ga.
Collins said the ’56 model has always been her “dream car,” and she did most of the work to remodel it herself.
