Originally, in 1955, it was a two-seater 'sports' model designed to compete with the Chevrolet Corvette, which came out in 1953, but the Thunderbird eventually became a luxury car in the same niche as the Cadillac Eldorado. The Thunderbird evolved in line with the tightening of motoring legislation in North America, both in terms of safety standards and emissions.
The sixth-generation Thunderbird shares its technical base with the Lincoln Continental Mark IV coupé, confirming the model's position at the top of Ford's range in the North American market. The Thunderbird 6 was manufactured in several Ford plants across the United States, in the states of Michigan, New Jersey, California and Georgia. Almost 300, 000 models were produced by Ford over the car's five years of production.
