Someone bought Annette Funicello's 1957 Ford Thunderbird and didn't even know it
Fox News
A 1957 Ford Thunderbird originally owned by Annette Funicello is being offered for auction on the Bring a Trailer website. The two-door convertible was fully restored in 2004.
The convertible was the Hollywood star's first car when she was just 16 years old and served as her daily driver for the next decade.
The current owner purchased it unaware of its celebrity provenance, until he began researching its history while putting it through a full restoration in 2004 and had it authenticated by the Funicello family, the Portland, Ore. dealer handling the auction told Fox News Autos.
The two-seater was originally white, but Funicello later had it painted an eye-popping purple by famed customizer George Barris.
