![]() Sales were good until the 1990s when large two-door coupes became unpopular. Succeeding generations became larger until the line was downsized in 1977, again in 1980, and once again in 1983. For 1958, the Thunderbird was redesigned with a second row of seats. Ford positioned the Thunderbird as an upscale model and it is credited in developing a new market segment, the personal luxury car. Unlike the Chevrolet Corvette, it was not marketed as a sports car. The Thunderbird entered production for the 1955 model year as a sporty two-seat convertible. ![]() Introduced as a two-seat convertible, the Thunderbird was offered variously as a four-seat hardtop coupe, four-seat convertible, five-seat convertible and hardtop, four-door pillared hardtop sedan, six-passenger hardtop coupe, and five-passenger pillared coupe, with the final generation designed again as a two-seat convertible.įord targeted the two-seat Thunderbird as an upscale model, but the 1958 model year design introduced a rear seat and arguably marked the expansion of a market segment eventually known as personal luxury cars, positioned to emphasize comfort and convenience over handling and high-speed performance.

The seller tells us that the brakes are good and that it has a nice set of radial tires installed. The one in this car is said to run and drive well, and that the transmission shifts correctly. Here’s the source of that burbling–the 185 horsepower (I should note that Ford calls it 350 in the advertising videos), 352 cubic inch V8. I used to joke with him about his “burblemobile” and how input to the steering wheel was like sending a message to the engine room. But I have to admit that I enjoyed driving it–a lot! My uncle had a 1960 Thunderbird convertible that I was lucky enough to drive once honestly, it felt like steering a motorboat compared to the Triumphs I was used to. The interior is similar to the car not pristine but perfectly adequate for a weekend (or more) driver. The ad spots are incredible products of their time! ![]() Please, if you have a few minutes, take a look at these original Ford 2-minute advertisements here and here touting the car as the “World’s Most Wanted Car” to get a real feel for how the Thunderbird was positioned by Ford’s marketing personnel. ![]() What a great profile! With all the jet fighter like touches and the wrap around windshield, this Thunderbird is absolutely a product of its time. While most of it looks solid, there are some rusty spots around the edges of the car. To their credit, the seller includes lots of clear pictures, so you know exactly what you are getting into if you’re considering the car. You can also see some of the spots of rust, for example just above the corners of the rear bumper. The Lincoln wheels don’t really do it for me, but that’s easy enough to change if you feel the same way. The big bird is located in Marlboro, New Jersey. Despite being not pristine, perhaps you may think this 1960 Thunderbird deserves the moniker the ad mavens gave it at the time as “The World’s Most Wanted Car”? More about that later–but for now, this Corinthian White example is for sale here on eBay, where bidding is currently at only $1,975 and there’s no reserve.

This cookie dough recipe mixes together quickly in a medium bowl with an electric mixer or a stand mixer and gives a thicker, softer crust to the fruit pizza. It definitely saves some time doing it this way, but, if I have time, I prefer homemade cookie dough. The Pampered Chef recipe calls for store bought refrigerated sugar cookie dough.

In, I fiddle around with the popup to make it look nice, show a thumbnail, have a link for the image and that's it!Ībout 300 photos could take maybe 2 hours to do all this and most of that time is just uploading the photos to the web. I could stop here but have one more step.Ħ. I throw the lat/long coords on the map (ArcGIS Pro), plot the points, then publish the data. I modify the spreadsheet to add some project data and the linking variable for the Pannellum viewer (it's super quick with just an easy formula from Excel).ĥ. I use an open source program called ExifTool ( ExifTool by Phil Harvey ) to quickly generate a spreadsheet that spits out all Exif data of the photos, including Lat and Long coordinates.Ĥ.

In any case, we have come up with a pretty fast process to throw 300+ images onto a map with spherical support that has streamlined things a lot.ġ. If you're outside that standard, then it's a bit of work to modify things to make the images work. There seems to be a 'standard' kind of developing, and it's basically what Facebook will take since they do well with 360 degree photos. I have dealt with spherical images from a few different sources (or cameras) and they are not all the same. ![]() I agree that it would be nice to see native support but I feel like so many factors are at play with things like this. The Geotagged photos to features with attachements tools works great for this purpose, but is missing that last final piece with 360 photo support in .Ĭan anyone from ESRI chime in here on when 360 support will be native? If I go out and take 500 pre-construction photos of a 10 mile water main, it would be time consuming to do any sort of manual linking of 360 photos to an outside source. I have also looked at using Mapillary, and Holobuilder but I would much rather use the subscription I already pay for, rather than subscribe to another service. I need something quick and simple that wont require programming or separate web hosting outside of. Because of the sheer volume of construction photos we could possibly take, the 360 photos work great to reduce the number of images you need to take. I was really hoping for native support by ESRI. I might get to the point of trying some of these out of necessity. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your work. Wow, thank you for all of the great ideas everyone. Sure, it would be great if the AGOL popups supported 360 natively but this hasn't been too bad. The Javascript code parses that information out and then loads the 360 photo in the viewer. ![]() On my website, I have developed a bare bones HTML file "wrapper" that I pass a file name & description argument to it in the URL. I'm using the Photo Sphere JS Viewer as the medium for displaying my photos. The photos have been a little work but I think I have a solution I'm ok with. The videos are straightforward- just open the Vimeo link in a new browser window.

The only thing I missed was that I needed to discard the first drop of blood and fill the circles with the rest. I mailed it off in the enclosed envelope that day, and a few days later, the company through which Symbiotica does its telehealth emailed me my results. Another antibody binds to that complex, and an enzyme catalyzes a color change.Īll I did was lance my finger-much like you do with glucose testing-and bleed onto circles on a piece of paper. If a sample has antibodies to that protein, the protein will bind to them. It’s an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects human immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to what’s described in paperwork as a “recombinant structural protein of SARS-CoV-2.” IgGs are often the most abundant antibodies after infection or vaccination. The company didn’t develop the assay itself, Zneimer says, but turned Euroimmun’s anti-SARS-CoV-2 assay into an at-home test. We offer a single test in quantities of 1 to 10 or a 25-pack. The test detects positive results in 15 minutes. Results are 93 accurate for people infected with COVID-19. ![]() The test is serological-you prick your finger, bleed onto a piece of paper, and send the paper in to be analyzed. It is possible to test a person too early or too late during COVID-19 infection to make an accurate diagnosis via the Flowflex COVID-19 Antigen Home Test. It’s for protection for your family and your friends.” However, the US Food and Drug Administration, despite authorizing this and other antibody tests, recently cautioned against using them to confirm immunity-whether from an infection or vaccination. “If you want to go back to work, employers want to know that you’re immune. ![]() “Really everyone in the population, even if they are vaccinated, should consider having serology testing, because we don’t know what’s happening, how long the antibodies will last,” Symbiotica cofounder Susan Zneimer says. But as there are no other at-home antibody tests, and there’s a lot of talk about vaccine passports and showing proof of immunity, I was curious to test this one as well. Symbiotica’s antibody test isn’t quite OTC-you have to use the company’s telehealth interface to answer a few questions and have a doctor sign off on sending you the test. Along with all the at-home tests to detect an active COVID-19 infection is an at-home antibody test to detect previous infection or the response to one of the COVID-19 vaccines.
