Description
By: Brooklands Books .
The 1955-57 Thunderbirds had introduced luxury features in the two-seater market, but buyers made clear that what they really wanted was four seats. The 1958 models were much larger cars with four seats and a unibody shell. They were either convertible or hardtop with a big-block 352ci engine.
There were a few differences for 1958 and 1959, but the 430ci engine was added to the range.
1961 was a very different body; a pointed nose and discreet tail fins. A 390ci V8 was added to the options. 1962 brought a Sports Roadster and the Landau model.
This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, technical and specification data, consumer analysis, new model introduction and history.
Models covered include:
352, 430, and 390.
