1959 Ford Thunderbird Description

1959 Ford Thunderbird Engine Size 430 CI V8 Transmission Type Automatic Body Style Coupe Miles 61,521 Miles Vin J9YH145819 Stock N145819U 1959 Ford Thunderbird -Oregon Showroom

This mostly original Thunderbird is powered by the new-for-1959 "J" code 430 cid V-8. It has a newly rebuilt Cruise-O-Matic transmission and a correct re-spray 18 years ago. It features power windows and seats, as well as power steering and brakes.

With 37,892 sold in 1958-outselling the previous model year by well over 16,000 units-the new Thunderbird began a sales momentum previously unseen with the car. It was also history-making, becoming the first individual model line (as opposed to an entire company) to earn Motor Trend "Car of the Year" honors.[With little more than a new grille and a newly optional, 350 horsepower 430 cu in V8 for 1959, sales climbed even higher to 67,456.
