1958 Ford introduced a brand-new larger 4-seater Thunderbird that
took the world by storm!
Motor Trend's Car of the Year for 1958, the square T-Bird proved to
be a hit. They went from a 2-seat roadster meant to compete with
Chevrolet's Corvette, to a full-sized big V8 powered luxury vehicle
that could comfortably seat 4. The production of convertibles
started late, so only 2,134 were built in 1958 making this as rare
as hen's teeth. You won't find too many convertibles for sale, and
this one is priced to move!
These are lovingly called Square Birds as the body lines were more
masculine and squared off than the prior model. This one just had a
new paint job in Raven Black and is matched nicely to the Black and
White vinyl interior. A new Black convertible top has just been
installed along with plaid trunk kit! This body style only lasted
1958, 1959, and 1960 and then came the bullet bird.
The 352 CID V8 engine is paired with the 3-Speed Cruise-O-Matic
automatic transmission. Options on this beautiful Square Bird
include: power steering, power front disc brakes, heat/defrost,
vinyl interior, and AM radio. Other recent work includes a new
4-barrel carburetor, oil change, tune-up, new fuel pump, new fuel
filter, power steering flush, and fuel lines flushed. If you're in
the market for a 1958-1960 Ford Thunderbird, you're in luck because
all this T-Bird needs is a new name on the title. Currently the
white wall radial tires feature Mustang hubcaps, but the car does
come with the original hub caps as well. 1958 was the only year
that the top operation is "Semi-automatic". A button releases the
trunk lid, and a switch inside the trunk raises and lowers the
power top. The top works as it should, which is a rare find by
itself.
