This particular car was is an older restoration according to the seller, who does “not want to spend any more time or money on it, so that is why it is so cheap, just want to move on.” I know the feeling. They only made a little over 53,000 T-Birds in the first generation but Ford made over 198,000 T-Birds in this second generation. Yep, it was a good business decision. The Thunderbird would be restyled yet again in 1961 so this one is right in the middle of the second generation. It proved to be a good business decision, sales took off. The Squarebird was about 20″ longer than the previous generation (1956 was the longest of the first generation Thunderbirds) and an extra two seats provided the marketing power that Ford thought they needed to compete. We all know that by 1959 Ford was already into the second year of the restyled and upsized Thunderbird. Even without the nice trailer, which is worth more than $1,600, this sounds like a very restorable T-Bird for a good price.
This 1959 Thunderbird found here on Craigslist in Evergreen, Colorado, is for sale at $1,600 firm and the trailer “is NOT included”, according to the owner.
