1964 Ford Thunderbird

1964 Ford Thunderbird â?" Caspian Blue Hardtop with 390 V8, Factory Air, and Solid Undercarriage Why This Car Is Special The 1964 Ford Thunderbird sits at an interesting crossroads in the nameplate's history. It was the final year of the fourth-generation body style that Ford introduced for 1961 â?" a design that moved the Thunderbird decisively away from the two-seat sports car roots of the original 1955-57 cars and toward a four-seat personal luxury formula that Ford had pioneered with the 1958 model. By 1964, Ford had refined that formula to its highest point before a completely new fifth-generation body arrived for 1966. That makes the 1964 model year a mature, sorted-out expression of the design rather than an early experiment with it.
