FITTED FROM THE FACTORY WITH 300 HP INTERCEPTOR V-8, FACTORY AIR AND MORE, THIS HANDSOME SQUAREBIRD IS A TRUE COLLECTORS DREAM! SPECIFICATIONS Year 1960 Make Ford Model Thunderbird Convertible VIN 0Y73Y140844 Mileage 74,312 Engine 352 CID 4BBL Cylinders V-8 Interceptor Transmission Automatic Title Clear/WV Color Corinthian White Interior Color Black/White DESCRIPTION The Ford Thunderbird concept started life in Paris, France in 1951. It began when Louis D. Crusoe and George Walker (two high ranking Ford executives) were commenting on one of the sportier automobiles of Europe and wondered why Ford did not have a similar offering. When they returned to the United States, a concept was put in motion and a target date was set for 1955, to unveil a true “Ford sports car�. The initial criteria was that the vehicle should be a two-seater, have an approximate weight of 2500 pounds, Interceptor V-8 engine, balanced weight distribution, acceleration better than the competition, and a top speed of more than 100 Miles per hour. Furthermore, the new “Ford sports car� was also to retain Ford product characteristics and identification to the extent necessary for a ready association with the standard Ford production car. The clay model wasn’t completed until May 18 (17 days after its due date), and it was in the summer of 1953 when the car was far enough along to decide whether or not the project should continue. The decision to keep the car going was made in September of that same year by Crusoe.

Ford Motor Company was excited about their new showcase and was eager to show the world. Yet, there was still one major stumbling block, what to name the new car: “There were 5,000 names considered. Hep Cat, Beaver and Detroiter were early, yet undistinguished, front-runners. Also suggested was Runabout, Arcturus, Savile, El Tigre and Coronado�. Crusoe was dissatisfied with these names and offered a $250 suit to anyone who could do better. Eventually the name Thunderbird was chosen and a legend was born.

This handsome and well-equipped 1960 Thunderbird is direct from a collection and boasts a very well kept older restoration and is in exceptional condition throughout. Known affectionately as the ‘Square Bird� This particular body style was only produced for 3 years and represents the first of the larger bodied Tbirds, the introduction of the 2 door hardtop, and the first departure from the 2 seat roadsters produced from 55 to 57. Powered by the popular and reliable 352 CID “Interceptor� 4 BBL V-8 linked to smooth shifting Cruise-O-Matic transmission, and fitted with desirable options such as Ford “Magic Aire� ventilation system, Frigiking auto air conditioning, day/night mirror, dual exterior rearview mirrors, fender skirts, full length center console with built in speaker, power steering and brakes, original AM radio, and more. This Thunderbird, finished in handsome and well-kept Corinthian White, with white and black interior, is as stunning to see as it is to drive. Formerly in the collection of a dedicated enthusiast, this T-bird has never seen inclement weather of any kind since restoration, and has been painstakingly cared for. For the trained aficionado, or the dedicated enthusiast, there will be few such exemplary cars to be had as this market continues to rise!
