Maryann Bozio's 1957 Ford
1957 Ford Thunderbird restyled by John Bozio for his wife Maryann Bozio. John bought the car for Maryann in 1961 for Valentines Day. It was used as an everyday driver, and the salt was hard on it during the winters. In 1968 John had to restore the car and replace some rotted panels. John restored the car to show condition with a few modifications. He radiused and flared the rear wheel opening to show the full diameter of the original Kelsey Hayes wire wheels he had installed. Anew interior that featured bucket seats with a full center console was installed along with a 425 cu. in. Buick engine and Turbo 400 automatic transmission.[1]
