Also included is one collection of composite photographs showing several Ford and competitor models at similar angles on the same page for comparison. The series also includes some description and a small amount of analysis of the styling of competitor cars. The second series, 1958 Thunderbird Development, consists of one folder of materials from 1955 meetings and discussions involved in planning the 1958 Thunderbird.
