This T-Bird appeared in Ford’s showroom in 1962 and is a special vehicle. From its sharp and aerodynamic nose to taillights that looked like rocket motors, the Thunderbird had it all. Nowhere was this more visible than in the appearance of the Third Generation Ford Thunderbird.
This enthusiasm was visible in many aspects of daily life, and vehicle styling was no exception. While the Soviet Union beat everyone to the punch with Sputnik and the feat of sending Yuri Gargarin into orbit, the American public’s imagination was captured by the government’s desire to land the first human on the moon. The world was caught up in the space race. The early 1960s was a fascinating period in history. I must say a huge thank you to Barn Finder Larry D for spotting this fantastic classic. They consider it one of the stars of their auction, and it will cross the blocks on Saturday, October 15th. It is set to go under the hammer, with the seller listing it here at Mecum Auctions in Schaumburg, Illinois. Our feature 1962 Thunderbird is one of those cars and has covered a mere ten miles since undergoing a meticulous restoration. The company released a limited edition version called the Sports Roadster, and those vehicles remain the most desirable in the Third Generation range. The car looked lower and more elegant than its predecessors, and sales were all that Ford could have hoped. Ford introduced the Third Generation Thunderbird in 1961 and immediately found itself with a styling winner.
