Ford Thunderbird 1960

Allmän beskrivning : RARE DROP TOP SQUARE BIRD, 352 V8, PB, PS, P TOP, TONNEAU COVER, GREAT DRIVER!!

The second-generation Thunderbird is arguably the most distinctive of the bunch. So when you can find a rare convertible that has received the right care, has proper 352 V8 power, and has cool extras like a roadster tonneau cover, then you know you this 1960 Ford Thunderbird is a true cut-above classic – and it's all at a very nice price.
We love the way this 1960-correct Yosemite Yellow looks on this droptop. It was a professional application later in life, and so you get extra gloss and shine when you take this convertible out for a sunny day cruise. These second-generation cars are affectionately called "Squarebirds" because of the sharp angels, but the intricate lines of the wraparound chrome bumpers front and rear reveal there was a lot more going on with this design than its predecessor. There are bright details abound on the T-birds, including the little ornaments atop each front fender, the Thunderbird script on the rocket-shaped body side moldings, and the chrome grilles on the rear panels – all of which are great reminders of the new jet age. And of course, we all love the turbine-style wheel covers with the iconic whitewalls. All of this is key to this convertible's outstanding presence today, but there is one extra piece that will keep this one always drawing in the crowds. You might have noticed a very well-integrated color-matched tonneau cover. This gives you the freedom to cruise like an original Thunderbird two-seat roadster, or remove it when extra family and friends go for the ride. And unlike on other models, this tonneau can stay in place while you operate the tan power top.
Inside the two-tone on the beautifully finished buckets and door panels have a Lincoln-level of execution. And the whole interior flows seamlessly from the gorgeous cockpit-style dash through the center console. So there's plenty of room in back for full-sized adults with the tonneau is out, you'll be just as happy cruising solo in Ford's personal luxury machine. In fact, you get white-faced instruments are fitted into a shiny aluminum panel that looks like a high-end clock face. Plus, the power adjusting bucket seat, power windows, and power folding roof make this a total luxury cruiser you control from the comfort of the driver's seat.
Flip up the sporty clamshell hood to reveal a nicely detailed engine bay that has a Yosemite Yellow air topper painted to match the fender walls. And the mirror-like valve covers are always a nice touch. But more than just look good, the 352 cubic-inch V8 is part of the debut of Ford's power FE motor program. Topped with a four-barrel carburetor, the V8 has all the right power to properly move this droptop. On the road, the dual exhaust gives a hint at the horsepower under the hood, but the T-bird never loses its composure. It floats down the boulevard like a true vintage luxury convertible should. This is aided by the right features such as the three-speed automatic transmission, power brakes, and power steering.
You'll love showing off every inch of this T-bird, right down to the 1979 Florida registration that's still on the windshield. It's one of those great classics that was built to cruise comfortably so you can impress anyone/anywhere. And at a price like this, you know you need to hurry to take this classic T-bird home.

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.
