This much classic luxury, elegance, and rarity is usually never this affordable. This t-bird is about more than just owning an american classic wrapped in its glossy and factory-correct brittany blue. It's about showcasing that brief time in automotive history when designers ruled over engineers, and they got to build the cars they wanted. This droptop really got to develop its long and sleek lines with great full-length styling touches, like the crease that starts at the top of the artful chrome grille, frames the headlights, runs the full profile, and doesn't stop until it has framed those cool sequential taillights. The all-important brightwork is quite nice with the grille shining brightly as it takes up most of the front end. And we all love how the rear chrome panel fully frames the dip in the trunk's sheetmetal. Ford was done with the ultra-rare factory sports roadster models in '65. In fact, that tonneau nicely blends the two shades of blue that make up the interior and exterior. Personal luxury really meant something in 1965, as the tasteful interior still has the thunderbird emblem embedded in the driver's power adjusting bucket seat. A center console was artfully integrated into the driver-oriented cockpit. The gauges have that 60s-cool setup that is so intricate that we know no factory would ever dare try it again in modern times. We all love lifting the hood, and seeing the 390 cubic-inch v8. So not only does the motor have a terrific presentation, but it also has the right upgrade for effortless cruising. And this is heightened by features like the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes. Ford only produced 6,846 thunderbird convertibles for '65. So this was rare when new, and now even more unique over a half-century later. The exceptional affordability for this complete thunderbird droptop is just the cherry on top.
