1963 Ford Thunderbird Convertible

Ford’s third-generation Thunderbird debuted for 1961, and while the sleek new design was successful, many buyers still yearned for the original two-seat T-Birds of 1955-57. In response, Ford stylist Bud Kaufman designed a neat fiberglass tonneau cover that fitted over the rear-seat area, creating the visual impression of a two-seat roadster. Racy faired-in and upholstered headrests, reminiscent of the era’s sports-racing cars, occupied the leading edge of the tonneau, just above the bucket seatbacks.

Are you looking for a super cool V8 convertible that’s ready for cruising? How about one with some of the best modern styling ever draped over two doors and four tires? If the answer was a resounding YES, this 1963 Thunderbird is exactly the car you’ve been looking for! With a smooth 390 4-barrel V8, gorgeous color combination, it’s the perfect weekend bruiser for anyone who enjoys getting a little fresh air out on the open road.
