Turbine style wheel coverings have faux knockoff hubs and thin whitewalls on all 4 corners of this neat design car.
A nice slowly curing downward rear deck meets up with a horizontal rear deck panel that houses sequential taillights, emulating the front with the wide mouth design. This 4-door version has suicide doors for the rear openings.
On top is a Cayman grain vinyl top in black and it sports landau bars on the rear pillars. There are nice trimmings around the glass and a stainless rocker graces the line from the front bumper and stretches the length of the car. All straight steel panels are bathed in factory Medium Palomino Metallic. A long sleek T bird badge is in the center. A curved upward on the edge bumper below is nice and shiny, and the curved down on the edges hood meet at the front quarter panel beginnings. This example is in original condition, nicely preserved with sequential taillights, hidden headlights that actually un hide, disc brakes for the front, and suicide rear doors sharing a common B pillar.įor the front grille design think largemouth bass with its wide mouth egg crate grille with hidden headlights covered in the egg crate to create the illusion that there are no headlights. That and the survival rate of these cars is low due to rust issues. Among the least appreciated Thunderbird generations is the 1966–71 car, affectionately, (or maybe sarcastically), referred to as the “Glamour Bird.”įor consignment something not oft seen, possibly due to its obscurity in the lineup of Bird designs.
The car took on many guises over half a century, with “Baby Birds” (1955–57), “Square Birds” (1958–60), “Bullet Birds” (1961–63), and even “Super Birds” (1989–97).
