Vehicle Description
The second-generation Thunderbird is arguably the most distinctive
of the bunch. So when you can find an exceptionally well cared for
example with its factory-correct colors, big block power, and acres
of chrome like this 1960 Ford Thunderbird, then you know you have a
great classic for the right price.
1960 was the crossroads of many different styles, and this one
blends them all perfectly. You see the jet age in the profile with
the rocket-inspired sheetmetal and tailfins. Those bright beautiful
bumpers, and how well they integrate into the design, reminds us
that style was king before government regulations stepped-in. Plus,
the Detroit maxim of "lower, wider, longer" is exactly what created
these boulevard-cruising second-generation T-birds. As Ford's
personal luxury machine, this is a very sophisticated package. The
factory-correct Corinthian White has a nice gloss, there's a proper
hardtop profile, and the dip in the trunk line is the kind of
daring piece they wouldn't try on new cars today.
The sophisticated attitude continues inside. The whole coupe has a
stylish Lincoln-level of execution, and you really see it on the
seats. The button-top white presentation is joined by a crisp black
to deliver the formal look of a tuxedo. This black and white is
continues in the door panels, headliner, and carpeting to deliver a
uniform package that reminds you what classic style was all about.
The bright center console and cockpit-style dash are more reminders
of the jet age. Everything appears so correct that even the radio
looks like the factory AM unit, but it's really a AM/FM digital
tuner with an aux input. So while everything looks stock, you get
to enjoy modern music through the upgraded Rockford Fosgate stereo
system!
Under the hood is a proper 352 cubic-inch V8. It has a nice look in
the engine bay as the forward-tilting hood gives way to a black and
white contrast with the addition of bold blue drawing your
attention to the motor. This V8 is far larger than anything offered
in the first-generation Thunderbird, and so this big block V8 has
the right power and torque to confidently move this coupe. On the
road, the dual exhaust gives a hint at the power under the hood,
but the T-bird never loses its premium composure. It floats down
the boulevard like a true vintage luxury coupe should. This is
aided by the right features such as the three-speed automatic
transmission, power brakes, and power steering.
