Ritchie Valens' iconic 1959 red-and-white Ford Thunderbird was lost in a tragic plane crash on February 3, 1959, which also claimed the lives of Buddy Holly and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson. The car was left behind at the airport where Valens was set to board the ill-fated flight. After the crash, the Thunderbird became a symbol of the rock and roll era and Valens' legacy. The car was eventually sold and has since become a collectible item, representing Valens' brief but impactful career in music.
