History;
The second generation Ford Thunderbird was produced by Ford for the
1958 to 1960 model years as a successor to the popular 1955-1957
two-seater. In response to Ford-conducted surveys two major changes
were made to attract potential buyers: two rear seats were added
and the level of luxury and features of a full-sized car were
incorporated into a mid-size platform. As a result, sales soared
and the new model dramatically expanded the personal luxury car
market, winning the Motor Trend Car of the Year in 1958. Over
200,000 units were produced in its three-year model run, quadruple
that of the two-seater in its three-year span. Along with the 1958
Lincolns, the 1958 Thunderbird was the first Ford Motor Company
vehicle designed with unibody construction.
