      <description>1961 Ford Thunderbird Convertible

  For consignment, a 1961 Ford Thunderbird convertible with a title verified 120,435 actual miles. This one's been owned by our consignor for 40 years, comes with a fiberglass cowling that turns the car into a two seater, and has a win under its belt from the first Radnor Concours d'Elegance. 

  Exterior
 This first year bullet bird wears a coat of two stage Corinthian White paint, accented by a top trim piece that hugs the front fender and travels all the way to the back where it tops some modest fins. The flat nosed grille is flanked by protruding chrome sides that also accent the profile while double headlights are inset in ribbed bezels that pick up on the grille bars, a few of which show some surface rust. Plenty of metalwork in the car including the ornamental spears, all four of them, or the rear fender. In back, chrome encircles the epic round tail lights then flows onto the straight bumper. 14-inch chrome wire wheels dress the car up, the rears partially obscured by the fender skirt, and a newer black canvas top and big clear plastic window top this classy convertible. Imperfections include a few bubbles down low, scratches on the chrome, and a rust through near the right tail light.  

  Interior
 Dramatic door panels include horizontal bars on the lower third and a striated band of polished trimmed aluminum under black vinyl uppers, both in nice shape with some cracking on the driver's side vinyl. They open wide to allow access to the black bucket seats with stitched inserts and in nice shape, mirrored by the rear 2+2, all over black loop carpet that shows some minor fading on the driveshaft tunnel in back as it faces the sun. Up front, a glossy black steering wheel and its metal horn ring front a fantastic instrument cluster, three protruding cylinders housing gauges, the speedometer, and a clock. Behind it, knobs of all kinds in metal under a broad, black brow of the dash pad. The ribbed mid panel, (remember the bezel?), spans the width of the dash, and wonderfully drops to form the center console in a continuous flow of ribs interrupted only by the vent lever panel. Just above it, an AM/FM radio and courtesy light. There are some wrinkles on the armrest and some tears on the door windlace trim, but overall the interior is in nice condition.   

  Drivetrain
 The bay presents cleanly and houses a 390ci V8 rated at an impressive 300 horsepower and drinking from a 4-barrel carburetor. It's mated to a Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission that routes power to the Ford 9" in back with 3.00 gears.

  Undercarriage
 Driver quality conditions underneath with some typical surface rust, peeling paint, and road dirt but overall clean and orderly. Power drum brakes are employed on all four wheels, and the dual exhaust finds a H-pipe, then stock style mufflers before emitting a small tailpipe. Suspension consists of coil springs up front and leaf springs in the rear. 

  Drive-Ability
 When we start her, we note a valve tap and engine miss right away, so curtail our test to a functional one and in that, note the clock not working, but alll other functions inside the car and exterior lights work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. 

  Of all the Thunderbirds we've represented over the years, the '61 is the least common. That's not to say they were rare, more than 80,000 were produced in 1961 including 10,000 convertibles. Maybe people love them so much they hold on to them, or loved them so much they used them until the wheels fell off. Here's a well preserved example that's ready to fly again with some needed TLC.
