1960 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop

  • Chassis Number: 0Y71Y159621
The 1958 Thunderbirds grew in size, gaining two additional passenger seats. They featured unitary construction and many convenience and luxury touches. Two bodystyles were available, a hardtop coupe and a convertible with a power top. The convertible version used the mechanism developed for Ford's Skyliner retractable hardtop, albeit with a vinyl soft-top.

The decision to move the Thunderbird upmarket was a risky move, but customer's responded with sales nearly doubling. For 1959, some 67,500 models were sold. The final year of the second-generation Thunderbird was 1960. It received a new grille, triple taillights, and an optional metal sunroof. Sales continued to climb, nearing 93,000 units.

This example is a 9,000 mile example that is painted white and rides on new tires. There is a red and white interior, power steering, power brakes, and a modern AM/FM stereo system. The 352 cubic-inch overhead-valve V-8 engine produces 300 horsepower and there is a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic transmission.
