The Thunderbird was redesigned for 1961 with styling that gave the car a unique bullet-like body side appearance. An American interpretation of the grand tourer, personal luxury cars were built with a higher emphasis on driving comfort and convenience features over handling and high-speed performance. These included a four-seat hardtop coupe, four-seat convertible, five-seat convertible and hardtop, four-door pillared hardtop sedan, six-passenger hardtop coupe, and five-passenger pillared coupe, with the final generation designed again as a two-seat convertible.įord targeted the two-seat Thunderbird as an upscale model, but the design introduced for 1958 featured a rear seat and arguably marked expansion of a market segment eventually known as personal luxury cars. Introduced as a two-seat convertible, the Thunderbird was produced in a variety of body configurations. 1 3/4″ pipe diaįishtail Silencer complete with Baffle.THIS 1961 FORD THUNDERBIRD IS LOCATED IN: PASCO, WA 99301įord Thunderbird (colloquially called the T-Bird) is a nameplate that was used by Ford from model years 1955 to 19 to 2005 for a personal luxury car during which there were eleven distinct generations.
