This is about showcasing that brief time in automotive history when designers ruled over engineers, and they got to build the cars they wanted. So it has terrific details like a new black convertible top that coordinates with the silver paint, wide whitewall tires, and genuine Kelsey Hayes wire wheels. That's probably why it already won so many awards (call for the list.) In fact, you can really tell that they have made big investments in restoring this convertible. Plus, when you have the full bright work looking this good, and there was a professional respray of the 1961-correct metallic silver, this drop top looks like a '60s dream car. Those jet-inspired taillights that are prominent thanks to a bright bumper that tapers inwards. There's a chrome line that fully runs from the front point to the tailfin. It starts with a sleekly rounded hood that ends at a point to give the Thunderbird a true beak.
The design of these third-gen T-birds have the sleek lines, plenty of room to carry everyone, and this one has been invested in heavily to make it's an award-winner.
The 1961 Ford Thunderbird seems to hit that sweet spot in classics. 390 V8, 3SPD AUTO, PWR STEER/BRAKE, CLEAN IN/OUT, CLASSY & COOL, RETRO DROPTOP!!
