Annette Funicello's 1957 Ford Thunderbird sold for $150,000
Fox News
A 1957 Ford Thunderbird originally owned by Annette Funicello has been sold at auction for $150,000, far more than it would be worth without her connection.
The two-seat convertible was Funicello's first car, and bought for her when she was just 16. She drove it for the next decade before giving it to her younger brother.
It was later sold out of the family and fell into disrepair before being purchased by an unsuspecting buyer in 2003, who discovered its history while putting it through a restoration.
The car was originally white, but Funicello repainted purple and the color changed several times since before the latest red coat was applied. It also features a new interior, but was sold with many of its original parts, including the seats and AM radio.
