Lightning strikes twice at the 45th Anniversary Thunderbolt Celebration at Ford's Dearborn Proving Grounds. Plus, view "Draggin' Thunderbolt" as it originally appeared in the February 1964 issue, the original Dearborn Steel Tubing Brochure and the Thunderbolt Celebration Guest List.
Phil Bonner's overheating Thunderbolt has stalled. The 14.0:1 pistons in its 427 High Riser are not happy on this muggy June day as steam slowly hisses from the filler neck of the lightweight aluminum radiator. We're inside the locked gates of Ford's Dearborn proving grounds as Bonner and a select group of helpers do their best to restart the potent 427. It's a tall order, but all put their backs into hefting the 3,200-pound Fairlane-Bonner included-as repeated efforts are made to push-start the exotic wonder weapon by popping the clutch from a 10-mph roll.
