INTRODUCTION: This stunning Thunderbird is a beautifully restored example finished in elegant Silver Mink, a color that perfectly complements its sleek, jet-age styling. In outstanding condition throughout, it captures attention with its dramatic lines. Intriguing features such as the removable Roadster tonneau cover, swing-away steering wheel, and power retractable convertible top make this Thunderbird as fascinating as it is stylish.

This particular example stands out with a laser straight body and excellent panel fitment throughout. It is finished in its very classy original color of Silver Mink, a sophisticated metallic shade that perfectly complements the Thunderbird's sculpted lines.
