For 1959, Thunderbird styling changes were more evolutionary than revolutionary, refining the bold new look introduced in 1958. The front end received a slotted, billet-style grille, replacing the earlier mesh design. "Thunderbird" lettering was relocated to the dramatic rocket-style character line running from the rear bumper toward the doors, capped with a chrome accent that emphasized the car's sleek profile.

One of the year's most notable advancements was the introduction of a fully automatic convertible top, allowing the soft top to stow cleanly and effortlessly-without the need for a separate boot cover. This innovation further elevated the Thunderbird's reputation as a sophisticated personal luxury car.

The 1959 model year was a smashing success, with 67,456 Thunderbirds produced, reflecting the car's immense popularity. Available as either a coupe or convertible, the Thunderbird blended sporty performance with luxury features, creating a new category that Ford dominated.

Today, the 1959 Thunderbird Convertible remains highly desirable for its distinctive styling, innovative features, and unmistakable presence. With its classic color combination, power options, and iconic Square Bird design, this example offers an ideal opportunity to enjoy one of Ford's most celebrated automobiles.

A true personal luxury classic-smooth, stylish, and unmistakably Thunderbird.
