Ford Thunderbird 1962

The third generation of the Ford Thunderbird was produced between 1961 and 1963. It was a completely new design compared to the previous generations and was intended to be a more luxurious and refined car than its predecessors. The car had a streamlined body with a long hood, short rear and a sporty appearance. The third-generation Thunderbird was available as a Coupé or convertible and could seat up to four passengers. Under the hood, the third generation Thunderbird had a number of different V8 engines available, ranging in size from 5.8 liters to 7.0 liters, depending on the model year. These engines were paired with three-speed automatic transmissions. Available features included power windows, power steering, power brakes, and air conditioning. The third generation Thunderbird was a popular car and helped define the American automobile industry of the 60s. The cars on offer are part of a static collection that has been accumulated over the last 40 years. They are mainly in an unrestored, original but dusty condition. We have not tried to start any of the cars. We have been informed that the engines have been turned, on a regular basis, but the exact condition of the cars and the engines is unknown to us. You can inspect the cars on the viewing days for which you have to make a reservation through our ticketshop.
