Vehicle Description

1961 Ford Thunderbird

Why This Car Is Special

You don't come across the early 60s Thunderbirds very often, much less one in as nice of a color combination as this example.

These bullet-nose T-birds had plenty of style and this one has the style and looks like it did when it was new with the big 390 cubic inch engine, plush black interior package, and those great looking wire wheels and whitewall tires to complete the vintage look.

To finish the package it has wide white wall tires with chrome wire wheels and red label spinner caps to set them off.
