The second year of the "square bird" saw lots of sales as it was now a 4 seater and people found this more appealing than the mini-birds of 55 to 57. The 1959 had a few small changes from the 1958 Model but was a great looking car all around. This particular car came with the 352 V-8 with an automatic transmission. Nice accessories such as power steering and power brakes make this Thunderbird a joy to drive. Also ordered with this car were power windows and power assist convertible canvas top. This is a nice entry level car that one can enjoy as is or with a few improvements bring it to the next level. With a little over 10,000 convertibles produced in 1959 you don't see that many left. Bucket seats and center console give the car a rather sporty look. To complete the look wide whitewall radials with factory wire wheel covers completes the deal. Come on down to Ellingson Motorcars and take a look. A nice entry level car and a rare one at that!
