I love Dennis Lou! He is Ford blue through and through and though I am not in position $$ to own all these wonderful Fords I get to enjoy them vicariously through Dennis thanks to you! I have been a fan of yours since the early days and meeting the Great My car Story legend is on my bucket list. Lou last March I had quadruple bypass at 65 yrs old. Well I have new life thanks to my Lord Jesus and have never felt better! Maybe I'll run into at one of the big car shows and tell you thanks in person. Blessings Rob

Love the "Square 'Birds! In college in suburban Youngstown late 60s worked for a small car lot. Had a 58 'Bird as a driver for my tasks. it was a gold convertible. Very fun car. Looking back. we had so many awesome "common" cars through the lot during my time there until graduation. Often wished now for a Jay Leno sized aircraft hangar to have saved them in. Hindsight of course. We just never guessed what we had into the future. Glad this video showed up in my random views!👍👍

I loved these T-Birds - 58 - 60 - as a kid. I thought they were the most fantastic cars in the world, and decided that when I grew up, I would buy one, not realizing at first that cars get restyled every so often. I was so disappointed when the 61 came out. "They ruined it" I claimed. Turned out that lots of adults also felt that way. Sales fell sharply that year.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Michael, Happy to read you "loved these T-Birds" :-) Lou

Now THAT'S an American car. In a stunning color combo too. Granted, quality control wasn't a big deal in the 60's and it was rare if all the power options all worked at any given time, but it was so pretty, nobody cared.

Dear Lou I was just thinking about either a 1968 or 1969 Thundetbird Suicide 4-Door Sedan when you come up with this 1960 Convertible! I sold my 1994 Mark 8 and am Driving a 2005 Cadillac STS in Light Grey with Light Grey Leather Interior with 3.6 V6 VVT Engine! They went back to Rear Wheel Drive in 2004 ! It has a ASTRO Roof in it! Body has no Rust they built these on the Corvette Chassis! I still talk to the Gentleman that Purchased my 1979 Phaeton 4-Door Sedan they Replaced a Oil Pump on the 425 V-8 as well as a Fuel Pump which I had replaced with a New one just a few weeks before it was sold in December of 2019! That 430 V8 adds 30% more to the Value of the Vehicle I remember seeing a Pink One for sale in a Magazine with that Optional Motor!

@15:27 the coolant reservoir tank. Owner is partially correct on why they came to fruition. Early days, cars had a vent tube out of the radiator. When the system pressure exceeded the radiator cap specifications, the pressure would set off a relief valve in the radiator cap which would allow the coolant mixture to simply dump out onto the road. This required the owner to routinely top off the radiator, it also polluted the environment. So regulations were passed, and the reservoir was implemented. The reservoir simply collects that overflow. Also, as the vehicle cools, a vacuum effect occurs, which allows the cooling system to suck the overflow back into the radiator.

The bird that ended Fords answer to the Corvette. The Thunderbird was Fords response and competition to the Vet. The first 3 years with the baby bird, it beat Corvette in sells, but Fords corporates did a study that said a 4 seater would sell more than a 2 seater car. And it did. That fact turned what started out as a sports car into a family luxury car. Now, Corvette is a very sought after mid engine super car, and the Thunderbird isn't made anymore.

[@OldRustySteele]

Hi Lou! The wraparound windshield is interesting because for the 1960 full size regular Ford (Galaxie, etc) had a windshield that didn’t wrap around as much. The side vent window on this T-Bird much like the ‘57-59 regular Ford, is wider at top than the bottom. For 1960, the regular Ford had vent windows that were narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The reason this is interesting to me is because as a 6-year-old kid, I vividly remember Tennessee Ernie Ford extolling the virtues of the new ‘60 Ford’s vent window and door design which eliminated the knee knocker dog leg in the door! The T-Bird didn’t get that change until the new 1961 model. It’s a bit odd in that the regular Ford got an all-new design a year before the Top Dog T-Bird!!

Thanks Lou and Dennis Impressive car. Dennis is right about "Ford knew what they were doing...) My dad was a Chevy man for the most part when I was a kid. I was unfamiliar with Ford's prior to the 1966 models. I was an adult when I bought a 1960 Ford Galaxie Town Sedan. I was amazed at how good the Ford body was as well as the doors etcetera. All the metal on the outside of the body was thicker and better built than the Chevrolets of that vintage. Ford had a very strong body. It's a shame that all cars, no matter how well they're built always rust away.

Beautiful example. Dennis's cars never disappoint when focusing on even the most minute details. Many don't realize that sales of the T-Bird really took off when the square-birds were introduced in 1958. Buyers who always wanted one in '55-'57 often hesitated due to the limitations of them being a 2-seater. They square-birds lost that true sports roadster feel, but they were more practical. I particular like the '60 for one single reason - the triple tail lamps.

Thanks Lou and Dennis of course for these documentaries you create of these extra special classics. This automotive sculpture is astounding in its appearance and its presence. I particularly loved the 1950's dash, the typical 50's two colour interior upholstery and isn't that Lincoln engine smooth as silk and aren't those tail lights iconic. I like that Dennis described this T' Bird as solidly built twin sheet metal...built to last. A quiet, head turning cruiser.

Man oh man... that really is a nice car. I usually don’t pay alot of attention to this era of Fords but that’s been my mistake. I love this car and Dennis is obviously a great guy who loves his cars and life in general. Good job finding a rare beauty !

Blue Bonnet is probably Margarine, not Butter. My mother's parents had a 1960 Ford Thunderbird Sunroof Hardtop. "Everything's better with Blue Bonnet on it." That Ford T--Bird had a Ford 352 V8 engine in it.

absolutely beautiful square bird, more beautiful than the first generation thunderbirds imo

[@loucostabile]

High praise for the looks of this car :-)

[@LynxStarAuto]

Beautiful car, but the 55-57 were home runs. Instant legends. Greatest birds ever made.

[@bruceh92]

I'm not sure how many '60 'bird convertibles made their way to Canada, Toronto, but I've never seen one! Just magnificent, awesome summer drive. Great job guys.

Mine had a 352 cruise-a-matic speedo, went to 140mph with a peg, and mine would peg the speedo and it didn't bounce a bit in a 2 mile run and on bias ply tires..I can't say it was a smart move looking back

Another great video Lou. My Uncle Sam had a red hardtop the same year model in the late 1960s. He said that he got it cheap because none of the power windows worked. He got them them fixed and drove it for about 10 years and it got wrecked in a pile up wreck on a busy interstate in the late 1970s.

Hi Finn, I appreciate your kind words :-) Thank you, Lou

[@steelassault262]

Well Lou, this may shock you, but I assumed Dennis didn't have any clunkers in his collection. I was just curious if even owned a clunker? I gather on a nice day, the toughest decision for Dennis is deciding which car to drive first :O Very nice T-Bird with the HOT ROD Lincoln motor!!!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Steel Assault, Sad news ...no clunkers :-( Good news! He has more to share, stay tuned :-) Lou

[@tomnekuda3818]

My late uncle bought a new T-Bird every year. He very much enjoyed them and whoever got them after he was done with them essentially got a new car. If I remember correctly, they were all ragtops.
