1966 Ford Thunderbird Convertible
Unveiled to the public in 1955, the Thunderbird was a two seat sports car that was Ford’s response to the Chevrolet Corvette that essentially was the first real post war American sports car ever that debuted just a couple of years before in 1953. The Thunderbird with its sporty looks, V8 engine and two seater configuration was a car that truly did give the Corvette a run for its money. As the years progressed the Thunderbird continued to get updated and grew larger which resulted in it becoming more of a luxury convertible in 1958 with 4 seats. Although, in 1961 Ford decided to revise the Thunderbird once again and reintroduced it as more of a luxury sports car rather than a full size luxury car that it had previously morphed into. This era is known as the “wedge shape” and 1966 was the last year for this design and arguably one of the Thunderbirds most attractive year’s.
Offered here is a wonderful 1966 Thunderbird convertible that has just come to us from a local estate. It is a very well kept original example with original upholstery, a very solid undercarriage and finished in its original and rare color of Sauterne Gold. The convertible top works as it should and the car runs and drives very nicely. Overall it’s a very nice solid car that has been very well taken care of. If you are looking for a fun and good looking convertible for the summer, this car should certainly be considered.
