1958 Ford Thunderbird

What is your favourite car of all time?

Swapping two seats for four in 1958 showed the powerful influence of Ford's accountants. In search for greater sales volume, the Thunderbird was taken upmarket, losing its youthful verve and turning the car into a prestige cruiser. These 1958-1960 second generation Thunderbirds gained eleven inches in the wheelbase and were nearly 800 pounds heavier. A substantially bigger 'Bird, the blocky profile later prompted the Squarebird nickname. A larger "FE-Block" V-8 was offered for '58 to help offset the car's weight gain. It came in only one configuration, 352 cubic inches with four-barrel carb. '58 model year production totalled 37,892 units.
