The Appeal
The 1959 Ford Thunderbird marked the second year of the redesigned "Square Bird," a car that transformed the Thunderbird nameplate from two-seat roadster into a four-seat personal luxury cruiser. With its dramatic, wide-set styling and powerful V8, it remains one of the most recognisable shapes in American automotive history and a coveted example of late-1950s design - especially in this fabulous Aquamarine livery. Pure Americana at its best!
This 1959 car, registered in Belgium, is described by the vendor as being in very good condition. The body is reported as very straight, with the paint showing only a few minor chips near the bonnet. The cabin only continues the car's distinctive period character. Powering the car is the 5.8-litre FE-series V8 producing 300 horsepower, mated to the three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. IMG_7297 RS for Vic Dhaene.jpeg3.77 MB
