The tan upholstery appears to have been expertly installed and blends perfectly with the center console and door cards. The interior mimics the exterior with its attention to clean and original detail. And yes, it still has its original radio. Along with its three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this convertible is optioned with power steering, power brakes, and a power top. With only 66K miles on its clock, this ‘Bird should have many miles of authoritative motoring still to enjoy. He also states, that it “ runs and drives great“. The seller lists this car as possessing the optional 430 CI motor but it doesn’t, that’s an error. This T-Bird packs a punch under its hood in the form of the standard 300 HP, 352 CI V8 engine. The tan convertible top, which matches the interior’s shade, offers an attractive contrast to the deep Monte Carlo Red finish. No mention is made regarding the chrome and stainless trim but it has either undergone restoration or has well withstood the test of time. Obviously, this 66K mile Ford was a strong candidate for refurbishment because it has turned out exceptionally well and shows as new. It has a very original bearing about itself but it is not completely “as new” since it has been treated to new paint, interior, and a convertible top. The seller refers to this Thunderbird as “ super straight and rock-solid body“. Additional images are available here on classiccars. It is located in Quincy, Illinois and is available, here on BF Classifieds for $29,500.

This Thunderbird is in stock/original condition, as opposed to possessing a hot-rod vibe, and is a beautiful example. Yesterday we took a look at a hot rod “baby-bird” 1955 Ford Thunderbird and today, we’re going to move one generation forward to what is known as the “square-bird” era (’58-’60) and check out a 1960 version.
