The second generation Ford Thunderbird (also called Square Bird)
was produced by Ford for the 1958 to 1960 model years as a
successor to the popular 1955-1957 two-seater. In response to
Ford-conducted surveys two major changes were made to attract
potential buyers: two rear seats were added and the level of luxury
and features of a full-sized car were incorporated into a mid-size
platform.
As a result, sales soared and the new model dramatically expanded
the personal luxury car market, winning the Motor Trend Car of the
Year in 1958. Sales totalled 198,191 over three model years,
approximately four times that of the earlier two seat model.
Along with the 1958 Lincolns, the 1958 Thunderbird was the first
Ford Motor Company vehicle designed with unibody construction.
1959
For the 1959 model year, Ford made changes to the front, rear, and
side ornamentation; leather upholstery was available for the first
time. The rear suspension was revised, discarding coil springs for
Hotchkiss drive with parallel leaf springs. A new V8 engine, the
345-hp 430 cu in (7.0 L) MEL-series, was available in small
numbers. Sales almost doubled again, to 67,456 units, including
10,261 convertibles. Thunderbird advertising in 1959 targeted women
in particular, showing glamorous models in country club and other
exclusive settings, and the sales figures bore out Ford's marketing
plans.
