1957 Thunderbird Junior Powercar reproduction fiberglass body and bumpers

Here is a 57 Ford Thunderbird JR body that was made from the factory original mold. This body and bumpers can be used to replace a damaged original body or the bumpers can be purchased seperatly. Replacement frames are also available along with many other parts to recreate a 1957 Thunderbird JR since the originals are rare and expensive. These were not pedal cars! They are powered promotionals that used electric or gas engines and were used by dealers in 1957 to help promote the new model year cars.

very nice work!

@GIwillo Thanks, but most of the credit goes to the Powercar company and the Ford Company stylist that actually built the wood and clay mold master and sent it to Powercar to make the original factory mold that I own. My fiberglass guy also does very good work hand laying the bodies so that all of the original details are as they are suppose to be.

A 1957 Thunderbird Junior has been driven inside the White House in Washington DC by the Eisenhower grandchildren. It was featured in Life magazine October 21, 1958 and shows David in the Aqua blue car and stated that Barbara would drive it through the halls and honk the horn for the attendants to open the doors. i wonder where the car is today?

Fantastic!

I think it would be interesting to lay one in carbon fiber.
