1961 Ford Thunderbird

What is your favourite car of all time?

Thunderbird gained a sleek new "bullet" shape for its third generation. With a completely redesigned chassis and improved suspension, the new model handled much better than the Squarebird, and steering was more responsive. There were better brakes too, which was appropriate as kerb weight had risen sharply over the previous models. The standard, and only engine was a 300 horsepower 390 cid V-8. The '61 rated as the best engineered Thunderbird to-date. One gold-painted rag-top served as the pace car for the 50th running of the Indy 500.
