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 V8 power, and acres of
chrome like this 1960 Ford Thunderbird, then you know you have a
great classic for the right price.
The 1960 car was the crossroads of many different styles all
blended into a distinct coupe. You see the jet age in the profile
with the rocket-inspired sheet metal and tailfins. Those bright
beautiful bumpers, and how well they integrate into the design,
remind us that style was king before government regulations stepped
in. Plus, the Detroit maxim of "longer, lower, wider" is exactly
what created these boulevard-cruising second-generation T-birds. It
all looks good in the correct-style Corinthian White. It's a
driver-ready finish with a good gloss that will get you respect at
the stoplights. That's great for a cruiser, or you may choose to
reinvest some of the value price in an upgrade. But what we really
love is how this delivers a complete and sophisticated package that
includes a proper hardtop profile, classic whitewalls, and the dip
in the trunk line that would be hard to recreate 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 combo
continues in the door panels, headliner, dash, 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. And with such an attractive total
appearance, you'll also love that this is a power windows car. That
means you can take down all the side glass without ever leaving the
driver's seat so that everyone can really get a good look
inside.
Under the hood is a proper 352 cubic-inch V8, and in fact, it's
even a year-correct block. 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 yellow on the valve covers drawing your
attention to the motor. This V8 is far larger than anything offered
in the first-generation Thunderbird, and so it 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 as
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.
This is your opportunity to pick up a stylish classic coupe before
the market makes the pricing more exclusive. Call today!!!
