The first of the four seater Thunderbirds were nicknamed the 'Squarebird' because of their 'boxy' lines and wide pillar roof, which would go on to be applied to other Ford models from Galaxies and Falcons into the 60's, along with plenty of their competitors too.

The car has a beautiful restored trunk kit and a spare wheel with it's jack is in the trunk.The 352 c.i 300HP V8 engine is extremely strong and powerful and this particular car drives extremely well and must be driven to be fully appreciated. The transmission shifts smoothly through all the gears and the temperature always remains cool!This is a rare opportunity to own a great daily driving and never abused example of an obviously always garaged long time owned and cherished rust free 1960 Ford Thunderbird 2 door Hardtop in very fine condition throughout.
