The 1959 Ford Thunderbird was the car everyone would love to own.
And why not? It was compact, powerful, elegant, distinctive, and
was the very last word when it came to cool cars. Available in two
models for the entire production run, (the 1958 cars weren't
introduced until mid-year, and the Convertibles were delayed even
longer due to engineering concerns), both the Hardtop and
Convertible enjoyed strong sales which added up to a total of
67,456 built for the model year. Major chassis changes consisted of
replacing the rear coil spring suspension of 1958 with leaf springs
for 1959. This improved ride and handling characteristics, which
were big concerns in 1958. A new, more powerful 430 Thunderbird
Special V-8 was introduced, although most 1959 Thunderbirds were
equipped with the standard 352 V-8.
This particular Thunderbird is extremely clean and ready to show
and/or drive. The panels are straight and original. This car is
also a J code car so it would have been equipped with the 430 V8
when it left Ford, best of all it still retains a 430 and that's a
quite rare option. This car is also nicely equipped with power
options and a great looking interior. Take a look at the underside
pictures and you'll see the floor pans appear to be solid and in
great shape. If you would like to inquiry about this beautiful
classic T-Bird give us a call at 507-386-1726 or email
