Vehicle Description
For sale in our Dallas showroom is a stunning 1961 Ford
Thunderbird. The 1961 Thunderbird changed a lot of things for Ford.
The 1961 Ford Thunderbird carried a lot of firsts for the car
world. It featured new and much sleeker styling than the
second-generation models. The engine, a powerful 390 CID V8
breathing through Cherry Bomb glass packs, keeps this beauty moving
in all RPM's without drama or much effort. A little history of the
Thunderbird was it was 1961's Indianapolis 500 pace car, and
featured prominently in US President John F. Kennedy's inaugural
parade. The most distinctive feature of the 1961 to 1963
Thunderbirds was the highly touted 'Swing Away' steering wheel.
Other innovations include a floating rear view mirror. Common on
all autos produced today, this feature was first found on 1961
Thunderbirds. The 1961-63 Thunderbirds styling is unmistakable and
brought to life concept styling. Aerodynamic features like the
integrated door handles help this car stand out from the crowd were
great, but the standout element has to be the "rocket booster" tail
lights. How this hasn't worked its way into more vehicles over the
years just baffles us, as it is one of the coolest tail light
designs of all time. This car has plenty of features like power
windows, power seats, and Air Conditioning. This is a cruiser that
is ready to go and be in its new home. The features include AC, AM
radio, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Windows, Vinyl Interior,
Hub Caps, and White Wall Radial Tires. For more HD pictures and
