The father/parkranger on the old tv show flipper drove a Thunderbird. If I remember correctly his boat was like the Cadilac of boats in the early 60s.

That link looks really intriguing. A money pit no doubt, but would be quite the eye catcher once restored on the lake....doubt there would be any return on investment though..looks like a basket case. Hope you have good luck with yours!
