Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Orlando is proud to present this bold and handsome 1959 Ford Thunderbird Convertible. In 1955 the Thunderbird first debuted as a 2 seater sports car competing directly with the Corvette.

Affectionately referred to as the âSquare Birdâ the second generation Thunderbird was grand statement of American opulence that reflects the time of the 1950s so well. With itâs big front end featuring a chrome grill, prominent hood bulge and tail fins that go all the way back this big red bird makes quite the statement. Drop the power folding top into the trunk and this Thunderbird takes on an even more svelte appearance! Take a seat inside and you almost feel like youâre piloting a jetliner with a dual cowl dash layout and a stylish center console housing the power window controls. The front bucket seats are fit for a captain and the rear seats offer a plush lounge for your passengers. Under the hood is a 352 cubic inch V8 and is paired to a 3 speed automatic.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
