The second-generation Thunderbird is arguably the most distinctive of the bunch. So when you can find an exceptionally well cared for example with its factory-correct colors, big block power, and acres of chrome like this 1960 Ford Thunderbird, then you know you have a great classic for the right price. 1960 was the crossroads of many different styles, and this one blends them all perfectly. You see the jet age in the profile with the rocket-inspired sheetmetal and... tailfins. Those bright beautiful bumpers, and how well they integrate into the design, reminds us that style was king before government regulations stepped-in. Plus, the Detroit maxim of "lower, wider, longer" is exactly what created these boulevard-cruising second-generation T-birds. As Ford's personal luxury machine, this is a very sophisticated package. The factory-correct Corinthian White has a nice gloss, there's a proper hardtop profile, and the dip in the trunk line is the kind of daring piece they wouldn't try on new cars today. The sophisticated attitude continues inside. The whole coupe has a stylish Lincoln-level of execution, and you really see it on the seats. The button-top white presentation is joined by a crisp black to deliver the formal look of a tuxedo. This black and white is continues in the door panels, headliner, and carpeting to deliver a uniform package that reminds you what classic style was all about. The bright center console and cockpit-style dash are more reminders of the jet age. Everything appears so correct that even the radio looks like the factory AM unit, but it's really a AM/FM digital tuner with an aux input. So while everything looks stock, you get to enjoy modern music through the upgraded Rockford Fosgate stereo system! Under the hood is a proper 352 cubic-inch V8. It has a nice look in the engine bay as the forward-tilting hood gives way to a black and white contrast with the addition of bold blue drawing your attention to the motor. This V8 is far larger than anything offered in the first-generation Thunderbird, and so this big block V8 has the right power and torque to confidently move this coupe. On the road, the dual exhaust gives a hint at the power under the hood, but the T-bird never loses its premium composure. It floats down the boulevard like a true vintage luxury coupe should. This is aided by the right features such as the three-speed automatic transmission, power brakes, and power steering. This is your opportunity to pick up a beautiful classic coupe before the market makes the pricing more exclusive. Call today!!!
