1963 Thunderbird Italian Show Car

[merlot4]

This clip is actually about show cars, and the Thunderbird happens to be in it, but it's still an interesting look back to see how designers were thinking. There's a bit about the Thunderbird in the beginning, but most of it starts at about 15:40. I think that with regard to the era, the Thunderbird looked pretty cool. Enjoy.

I recall reading an article about this in a car magazine some time ago, but don't know which. In any case, I also think it's a very interesting project. Here's a bit more for those interested:

Aha, here's the article, although not nearly as complete as the above link:

So interesting! I seem to recall one of those Futureliners went through Mecum or Barrett-Jackson a couple years ago.

Next time I'm in California I have to visit the Blackhawk Museum. Went to the Peterson in 2019 and it was worthwhile. They have a Vault in the basement where many cars are kept so they can periodically change the main exhibit. While there we checked the vault out too.
