Brooklin Models BRK.64B 1959 Ford Thunderbird Convertible (Brandywine Red) - 01-2013-1 -.

This item comes with its wing mirrors in a separate bag. It is in immaculate condition throughout.

For the 1959 model year, Ford made changes to the front, rear, and side ornamentation; leather upholstery was available for the first time. The rear suspension was revised, discarding coil springs for Hotchkiss drive with parallel leaf springs. A new V8 engine, the 345-hp 430 cu in (7.0 L) MEL-series, was available in small numbers. Sales almost doubled again to 67,456 units, including 10,261 convertibles. Thunderbird advertising in 1959 targeted women in particular, showing glamorous models in country clubs and other exclusive settings, and the sales figures bore out Ford's marketing plans.
