"You might...recall memories of a Thunderbird used in advertising for a paint product called Duragloss. This is that car."
- Mark Terry, Estate & Collector Vehicles Director

Learn about this iconic and famous 1956 Ford Thunderbird with our Estate & Collector Vehicles Director, Mark Terry. Purchased in 1966 by inventor and chemist, Dr. William Bailey, this collector car soon rose to fame. Dissatisfied with automotive care products available at the time, Bill and his brother Jerry invented a revolutionary automotive polish, aptly named "Duragloss" because after a single application its durable gloss would last up to a year. This very glossy Ford Thunderbird, in Raven Black, was used extensively in their product marketing.
