I got a red ‘63 Thunderbird. To the guys in the comment section, my car is better than your car. I’m better than you! …Ha-ha-Hah

Yeah, back when REAL automotive engineers existed and car manufacturers built cars with style and class.

Maybe power steering was a LUXURY item in the UK in the 1960's but not in the USA. The vast majority of cars were sold with power steering by 1965.

The thunderbirds during this period were something everyone liked, both women and men drove these, very popular design and the more options there was the higher the price was, so you could get one in various price ranges. Really nice car's with beautiful interiors

Being American, I wanted to say that the equipment/operation you insult here were attributes at the time.

The 63 T-Bird is one of my most favorite T-Birds ever I love that sculpted door line that's a 61 and 62 didn't have.

I got my first drivers license at 16 driving my Uncle's '63 bird. There's always been a soft spot in my heart for these cars.

A truly gorgeous monument to American automotive design.

I just love your '63 Tbird, I had a '64 for years and in fact sold it in England in '92. I now have a '65 in my garage. To get some better mileage I put a Holly 550 4 bbl carburetor on mine and on the highways I would get 18 mpg out of it. Which was a lot better than 12 mpg that I used to get. These are a lot of fun to drive and are well made cars. I wonder if my old '64 is driving around the UK somewhere? oh well, God bless.

I had a 1963 Thunderbird. Loved It. I didn't want to sell it but I didn't have any place to store it.

You're awesome at car reviews!!!

[@TheTrollMastah]

You know, I LOVE Thunderbirds (I have a ‘63, red/white top) but they should’ve had a 2-seater version for the second gen AND a 4-seater. Like a sports package

[@craigjorgensen4637]

Thunderbirds and full sized Ford’s, especially wagons had horrible brakes in those days! They burned through brake shoes and drums like no other car!

[@bobcruse624]

Price a 53 -59 vette and compare to a thunderbird

[@markhealey9409]

But you forgot The Mustang! 🙄🙄😍😍

[@markhealey9409]

Beautiful! 😍😍 Front end so similarly designed as The Ford Corsair!

[@garycrawford2256]

I believe the Swing Away Steering Wheel was an available on full-size Fords too.

[@johnkohlmeyer1499]

I don’t agree that the 64 to 66 was less sporty. I thought it looked sleeker and less clunky

If there's a God in Heaven He drives...

I have owned one each of 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965 and 1966. I caluculate every tank of gas I have ever put into every car I have ever owned. These T-Birds get more like 15-16 mpg at 65 mph on the freeway.
