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.
This is an excellent example of this rare model and appears not to have been played with with virtually untouched paintwork, really fresh and smart.
This is a totally original model, with clean and clean windows and nice wheels and tyres. The motor works smoothly. Definitely the best I have seen and it also has a very rare original box of the correct 'Mechanical' type. The box is, of course, scarcer even than the car inside these days and, whilst this one has lost its flaps at both ends, what remains is clean and fresh-looking. You will see from the photos how well this can be displayed.
These will always be desirable and should be a good investment. It is an item currently in my own personal collection.
