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.

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.

@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.

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!

Dennis sure has a real treasure here! Another piece of automotive history here boy! I have to say so far in Dennis's collection this one rates right up there in the top three of my favorites of his. I love love the color and that interior color and style just fits right in like a fancy living room type furniture. My lord and Ford back in those days sure had the best innovation on concealing their power tops no matter which one it is. I cannot imagine how long it took to devise the operation of those tops. I had a 352 in my 1965 Ford Country Sedan had a 4 bbl on it would not pass a gas station. That engine in this unit was spectacular and in the ride it looked extremely peppy! Dennis sure has awesome cars and toys. I have enjoyed seeing everything of his. The knowledge he has on each and every car or toy is amazing. My dad would sure like Dennis if he was living and would so enjoy his toys and cars. I am anxious to see what he has next if he has another one on the block to show.

Hi Paul, Happy to receive a "Wow". Thank you for the TV tip too, Lou

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.

Happy to rear you "love the square birds!" :-)

The 430 MEL could be upgraded to Tri-Power trough Lincoln/Mercury to make 400 hp. Coolest intakes ever, very rare, and have been advertised on EBay in the $2500 range. The 430 MEL was later stroked to 462 for the Lincoln lineup up and dropped in about 1966, if I remember correctly. The 430/400 MEL came out in 1958 and only lasted a few years. No T-Bird 430 has as yet been recorded as coming from the factory with the Mercury Tri-Power option.

Love your channel Lou I own a 1959 square bird convertible and never seen the full power roof retraction, on mine you need to open the trunk and stand outside the trunk to lower it
