Vehicle Description
Ford reinvented the Thunderbird in 1958, and though sales for the
first generation '55 to '57 T-birds had been strong, they really
took off with the "Square Bird," as '58 to '60 T-birds came to be
known. The four-passenger second-generation Thunderbird provided
all the luxury and convenience expected in a luxury car, but in a
smaller size than the contemporary Cadillac, Lincoln, and Imperial,
making it easier to park and maneuver.
Motivated by the powerful new 352ci V-8 Interceptor engine, the
Square Birds were swift and sporty, though not high performance.
Handling improved in 1959, when leaf springs returned to the rear
suspension from an earlier coil spring design that did not work out
in 1958 as the designers planned.
The interior of the '59 T-bird is little changed from the
revolutionary design of '58 that earned Motor Trend Magazine's Car
of the Year award. The front seats are individually adjustable, the
functional center console separating the seats houses controls for
the heater, radio speaker, and power windows, as well as ash trays
for front and rear passengers. The padded instrument panel came
standard, dressed up with polished and brushed ribbed aluminum
trim. Pleated vinyl inserts and vinyl bolsters in the seats were
colored to match exterior paint colors.
This 59' Thunderbird is in great condition to fly and just needs a
pilot. If that's you, please call Art & Speed at (901) 850-0507.
You'll be the talk of the town. Financing
