Chromed landau bars are showing some dimpling and have faded trimmings around the windows, (the consignor has a new material for this fix!). A long hood leads up to the landau top, which is covered in white and presents as rough, with peeling and chip off of the material throughout. The front quarters have almost a second fender stamped into them, and the bumper makes its way around this. A pinched front quarter takes its cue from the front bumper which rises slightly to the mid-section and creates the wheel wells for the front, which have a horizontal running light just in front of the well. We could call it in its very beginnings of the throws of a restoration, but consigner ran short on time.ĥ…4…3…2…1… Thunderbirds are go! Leading the way for this classic bird is a hidden headlight grille within a squared off oval trimming on top and the bumper finishing the oval below.
From the early birds with their turbine styled tail lighting and fins, to this 1968 iteration which looks a bit like a cross between Han Solo's land speeder and the Millennium Falcon, we give you this long front end, white landau topped suicide rear door 1968 T bird. Besides the pure jet, the turbine driven propeller engines offered improvements of the piston engine delivering a smoother ride and better fuel efficiency.įor consignment, a 1968 Ford Thunderbird Landau that adopts the Thunderbird styling that was present from the start, the use of jet age styling to give the cars a futuristic forward thinking look. The Jet Age is a period in the history of aviation defined by the advent of aircraft powered by turbine engines, and by the social change this brought about.
