Full description
The Thunderbird began production in 1955 and only started with two seats and with a convertible top. By 1958 they had extended the model and added a second row of seats which became even more popular due to the convenience of space. This trend of growing the size of the Thunderbird continued and the model became much larger for several generations until 1977 as the market had changed and demanded more of a smaller sized vehicle.
The 1960 Thunderbird used the same two body versions (2-door hardtop Coupe and 2-door soft top Convertible, both four seaters) as the previous two years, with minor design changes and with only trim updating. The grille was the same pattern of small squares used in 1957 and was located behind a large horizontal chrome bar. The grille pattern was duplicated behind the taillights. Three taillights were used per side, instead of two, as in previous years. The Thunderbird script, unique to 1960, appeared on the door. The 430 cubic inches (7.0 liters) 350-hp V8 was again an option available only with automatic transmission. The most significant change for 1960 was the addition of a manually-operated sunroof available on the coupe. 2,536 cars were produced with this option.

From the exterior of this vehicle you find many great features from the recently added Truespoke chrome wheels with American Classic tires to its fully functioning power top, this vehicle shows very well. An additional continental package put on the rear of the vehicle really adds to the style and flash of this vehicle and holds the spare within a color matched cover housed within.
From the interior you see a plush leather trim as it was originally built but with new material made to match as well. Wit features such as the power front seats, power windows, power top, AC and heat is all fully functioning and the nostalgia is in full effect when sitting in a comfortable ride.
