1959 Ford Thunderbird Convertible

This 1959 Ford Thunderbird Convertible is an absolutely stunning 2-seater that's loaded with options and ready to be your next summer cruiser! In the early 1950s, American automakers realized they were missing a key segment of the market-luxury, sporty 2-seater convertibles dominated by European brands like Mercedes, Porsche, and Jaguar. Chevrolet was the first of the Big Three US Automakers to respond with the 1953 Corvette, but Ford quickly followed with an even more refined answer: the Ford Thunderbird, introduced on October 25, 1954. Unlike the Corvette, the Thunderbird delivered true "personal luxury," combining sporty V8 performance with the comfort and convenience features American drivers wanted.
