'57 T-Bird (1978)

Description
The '57 T-Bird first debuted in 1978 as part of the Flying Colors series in a red, white, and blue patriotic paint scheme. Finding the carded version of this casting is quite rare, with an average value of $100. Although the white one is the only one known to exist as part of the Flying Colors series. It was originally introduced with a porthole window, just like the real car, but when manufacturing was moved to Malaysia, the porthole was omitted to save cost. Anyway, some Yellow T-Birds without porthole and with Malaysia base, were created in the early '80s and a few of them are still out there.

This car was also featured in the T-Bird Tossup track set. One set with the white 1978 '57 T-Bird on the box and also a box with the car pictured in Yellow (BW).
