Vehicle Description
If you're looking for a sweet 50s-era classic that's valuable, fun
to drive and has the ability to turn Main Street into an instant
classic car show then this is "it" for you. An all black exterior
with white and black interior and a white convertible, you will
think you are driving down the street in a tuxedo!
Exterior
Black gloss covers the entire bodywork and hardtop, which have some
minor cracking and chipping. In particular below windshield on
cowl, and hardtop throughout. A continental kit has been added to
the rear, which presents in good condition. Chrome and brite work
are noteworthy in that they present in very nice condition. A hood
scoop with chromed intake peeks out from the top and add flair to
the long hood. Front bumper is straight and true, and 2 mini
dagmars are attached in front of a smiling grille. On the rear,
small fins sprout from the rear quarter panels, and end at the
large chromed continental bumper, and tire cover. Medium wide white
sidewall tires wrap standard Ford wheels and hubcaps. Fender skirts
with chrome accents adorn the rear and add to the "thin body" look
of this car. The top is a pre porthole window example. A white
convertible top is seen tucked behind the interior bench seat.
Interior
A very nicely restored interior begins with a bench seat with white
horizontal tufting within black bolsters. This motif creates the
illusion of 2 seats, when in fact there is just one. Door panels
are draped with machined aluminum and white tufted horizontal vinyl
and are in very nice condition. The black topped dash has the
machined aluminum as well but in a swirl pattern. Gauge cluster is
neat and clean and is fronted by an original steering wheel. The
floor shifter resides in a sea of good condition black carpeting,
with nicely stitched Thunderbird logo floor mats. The headliner is
also in nice condition.
Drivetrain
A 312ci V8 mill sits nicely in a clean engine bay. An aftermarket
chromed Edelbrock air cleaner is the first thing seen when one pops
the hood. Other highlights include Thunderbird logo emblazoned
valve covers, pristine hoses, and a newly painted engine block in
red. A 3-speed automatic transmission is attached, as well as power
steering, and power brakes.

Convertible black beauty. Whether you are taking it to your local
