Wonderful Jet Age design cues included small tailfins, jet exhaust-style taillight lenses, and a futuristic cockpit-style interior with integral center console.
The convertible was relatively rare, with 10,516 produced for 1961.
Fully detailed and reconditioned, this captivating 1961 Ford Thunderbird Convertible features excellent colors comprising glossy Starlight Blue paint over rich Medium Blue Metallic leather upholstery, complemented by a power-operated Navy Blue canvas convertible top and chrome wire wheels mounting period style thin whitewall tires.
