1959 Ford Thunderbird 352 V8 - Gateway Classic Cars

RamblinAround Store: teespring.com/...
I thought you'd like a look at this nicely restored 1959 Ford Thunderbird. They've done a great job on this one...looks just like it rolled out of the showroom yesterday. It's powered by the original, numbers matching 352 V8, backed by an automatic. The paint is slick and the interior is very impressive. I hope you like taking a look at it, thanks for watching!

My favorite T-Bird model ever!!! GORGEOUS!!!

[@805ROADKING]

Looks just like it rolled out of the showroom yesterday!! That color goes well with that car!!☺

[@RichardCWard]

I have watched your video's many times and this is the cleanest and most original Fort Thunderbird I have seen. I love this car, and I could be tempted to pay the price to own this one.

[@noneed4me2n7]

Love seeing these still around. Hope this one is still being driven by someone who appreciates its greatness.

[@JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

I actually saw the second hand on the clock working...something you rarely see in a car this old...I'm impressed.

[@MostlyBuicks]

What a wonderful color combo. 1959 was the best looking year for the Square Birds.

[@horaciomora75]

¡¡¡ ¿ Por que no viviré en USA ? !!!!! ESTE ES EL T-BIRD QUE MAS ME GUSTA, GRACIAS POR PERMITIRME DISFRUTARLO A TRAVÉS DEL VIDEO

[@daleval2182]

The style was ahead of its time

[@RamblinAround]

I'm sure they were a real bargain at that time. The values are definitely starting to come up on these. Thanks for checking it out Jim!

[@mikegehre570]

Wow! What a cruiser and looker

[@sidgysoho1960]

That is one sweet ride. A definite must to be shown on the road working its' magic ! Great presentation !

[@shartne]

That car is near perfect and like new. It is beautiful!

[@RamblinAround]

I've always liked the interiors on the T-birds. This one is particularly nice. Thanks for checking it out!

[@RamblinAround]

I was really impressed by the dash too...very cool. Thanks for checking it out!

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for taking a look!

[@williamdixon1992]

Very nice 59 Thunderbird. I like your presentation. You didnt mention it but your T Bird also has Factory A/C! At least you have the A/C chrome vents just above the radio.

[@greghiggins2283]

great looking car

[@KeliBaB]

My favorite classic car!

[@RamblinAround]

Yeah, it's not bad at all, considering the condition it's in. Thanks for checking it out Capt!

[@natem1959]

Thanks so much for posting this. It is such a treat whenever you get to see T-Birds from these years. Love the color too.

[@GizmoRob176]

Damn good looking car.

[@GregsGarage]

Thanks a TON for the detailed look at that one. It helps fill in the blanks from the parts missing on Unkie Scott's 59.

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@scottguthrie8074]

She's a beauty!!

[@higherlearning228]

georgous looking car! With a cool classic paint job. I really appreciate you showing us this. Looks like it came right off the assembly line! Love these old cars.😁

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for taking a look Kevin!

[@michaelsisk7875]

thank you for sharing the color ive been wanting to paint my car this color and i haven't been able to find the name of this exact color thank you so much for sharing

[@mileyondisney5588]

'58 and '59 are my favorite years for T-Birds. Wouldn't mind owning that one. I'll let you know if I win the lottery.

[@paulskiprosessen]

I´ve dreamed of this car ever since I first cast eyes on it when I was 7 years old...

[@Oldbmwr100rs]

These cars were built alongside the Lincoln Continental and were built like bank vaults.There's still a lot of these and the next 2 generations around because they were just so well made, they were also prized by their owners and well cared for early in their lives, making them good candidates for restoration. This isn't my favorite bodystyle, that goes to the '61 to '63's, but this car is just gorgeous!

Sharp Looking 1959 Ford T -Bird

[@RamblinAround]

Glad you like it!

[@RamblinAround]

Yep, this one is really nicely done. Thanks for checking it out my friend!

[@Builder99]

This was my all time favoured car from being a kid, to today...Who ever gets this one is a lucky person...

[@RamblinAround]

They definitely are sharp looking cars. Thanks for taking a look at this one!

[@RamblinAround]

That is very true....I see a lot of stopped clocks. Thanks for taking a look John.

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for taking a look at it!

[@RamblinAround]

I'm sure it would cost more to restore one. Thanks for taking a look!

[@stevokc43]

Like it, very nice

[@JimBales]

Hey, I bought one of these back in '74. Sure wish I had it today. It was considered an old used car at the time. Hindsight!

[@dickylobster]

A beautiful resto, and at a bargain price !

[@RamblinAround]

Glad it helped Greg, thanks for watching!

[@suzanneparker6519]

I bought my 59 bird last summer after a co-worker died unexpectedly. I decided that I shouldn't put off fulfilling some of my dreams, just do what I can right now. The Lady Bird needs a lot of work but I love her anyway! Plus, it's kinda funny to see the surprised look on people's faces when they find out that she's owned by a mid-forties woman.

[@RamblinAround]

Suzanne Parker It's true, none of us really knows how long we have left, so it's important to enjoy yourself along the way. Too many people, set their dreams to the side for a later time. I think it's great that you went out and made yours happen. Good luck with that T-bird, thanks for dropping by!

[@wtbm123]

Nice

[@davidcarroll1883]

[@RamblinAround]

I think you're right about that.

[@pranilramdayal9097]

This car resembles the 1959 Ford Galaxy

[@RamblinAround]

No, it's a long way from done...we've just been busy with other things lately.

[@toddlecher4097]

[@CaptJohnsBar]

I expected that would cost more than that !

[@frankwood7878]

GANGZTER CAR 🚗 G-RIDE 🚗 BABY

[@RamblinAround]

That's cool George, hope it brought back some great memories. Yeah, I'd say your model building skills have progressed a bit :)

[@roberthart9886]

I had a 60 T Bird with turquoise interior. 2 big issues the electric morots for the windows and the center consul speaker which was bad but replacing it meant dropping the motor. Oh, and it was gas hog dog

[@knots12345678]

Cream puff!!

[@alexandro5961]

[@JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

As always, love your videos. Are you fininshed with your project car? Haven't seen any videos lately about it...just wondering.

[@richardwhite3456]

I like that one where to go and buy that one let me know soon !!

[@maurovera6349]

I have one exactly like that one, my manager sold it to me 10 years ago I'm only 39 years old my wife is 33 and we will have fun all over the country with it. and is black, and today is going to the body shop I can't wait to have it back it'll be beautiful I'm excited. Mine has power windows power seats and air pump windshield wipers, and it has like a Paris Air shocks on the rear axle is that original can somebody answer my question thank you.

[@islandnites]

where are the other doors?

[@timjones2750]

Looks like it has the A/C vents in the dash but I didn't see a compressor under the hood. My favorite year T'Bird.

[@MostlyBuicks]

That is because so many people who may put $30 grand in a restoration seem to stop at restoring the A/C for some reason. Some people even remove all A/C components. Others lie and say "A/C works, just needs charging" and yet the belt is not installed. I do not know why but so many people do not think A/C is important on a classic car. And so many people are intimidated by restoring A/C systems. Heck if you are going to put $20-50 grand in a restoration, what's another $5 grand? R12 can still be had for $30 a can on ebay. I personally would never buy a car that did not have a fully functioning FACTORY A/C. All the cars I have restored also had the A/C restored as well.

[@davidgast5482]

Mine has AC.. mine is in this kind of condition..

[@jameslandrigan1142]
