One of the last models to be issued with a friction motor, this Ford Thunderbird was not as popular as the non-mechanical models and production was not maintained for more than a year or so. It is now quite a scarce model to find, especially in good condition.
The pink paintwork tends to show even small marks in an exaggerated way but this one has survived very well and looks very attractive with a mostly unmarked black roof and good, clean pink bodywork. There is a small amount of corrosion in a couple of places and some wear along the top of the rear fins. It is, otherwise, quite a stunning example.
This is a totally original model, with clear and clean windows and nice wheels and tyres. The motor works smoothly which is quite unusual these days too.
These will always be desirable and should be a good investment.
