This stunning 1968 Ford Thunderbird Landau Coupe perfectly captures
the spirit of late-'60s American luxury and performance. The
Thunderbird was Ford's answer to personal luxury, blending
sophisticated styling, an abundance of options, and serious V8
power under the hood. For buyers who wanted to stand out from the
crowd, the Landau Coupe delivered elegance in spades-and this
example is one of the best you'll find today. Finished in elegant
Beige Mist Metallic, this Thunderbird gleams from every angle. The
paintwork was recently refreshed to an excellent standard, while
the original Parchment alligator-grain vinyl Landau roof remains an
eye-catching and unique detail of the period. Chrome and bright
trim shine brilliantly, and the car sits on its original
full-styled wheel covers wrapped in thin whitewall tires,
completing the authentic luxury look. Inside, the Thunderbird
continues to impress with a beautifully preserved two-tone
parchment and black vinyl interior accented by rich woodgrain trim.
This example is loaded with desirable options, including Flight
Bucket Seats with center console, Convenience Group, power windows,
6-way power driver's seat, tilt-away steering column, and reclining
passenger seat. For long-distance comfort, the car also features
Highway Pilot speed control, SelectAire factory air conditioning,
and tinted glass. The entertainment options are pure 1968 luxury
with a Stereosonic tape system for period-correct audio enjoyment.
Even the Deluxe seat belts reflect Ford's attention to detail in
this premium model. Powering this elegant cruiser is Ford's mighty
429 cubic-inch V8, mated to the bulletproof C6 automatic
transmission for smooth, effortless performance. The car glides
down the highway with confidence, delivering that famous
Thunderbird ride-quiet, composed, and refined. The air conditioning
blows cold, making it a perfect choice for comfortable summer
cruising. Built at the Ford Wixom, Michigan plant on February 21,
1968, this Thunderbird was delivered new to Horn and Williams Motor
Company in Dallas, Texas, and sold on March 1, 1968. Today, it
shows just 49,196 original miles and remains in excellent
condition, benefitting from just one high-quality repaint while
retaining its originality elsewhere. Included with the sale are the
original window sticker, build sheet, owner's manuals and booklets,
and receipts for maintenance, adding to its authenticity and
collectability. If you're looking for a highly optioned,
beautifully presented example of Ford's iconic personal luxury car,
this 1968 Thunderbird Landau Coupe deserves your attention. It
drives as good as it looks-floating down the road like new, with
every feature working as it should. Contact Brian at 352-307-1968
