Invitation to Pleasure Unlimited - Thunderbird Style!
Unrivaled in cornering and handling ease, Thunderbird performs as brilliantly in city traffic as on the open highway. From Newport to the Pacific Palisades, no more exciting automobile travels any road than Thunderbird - the car everyone would love to own!

The 1959 Thunderbird is "The Car Everyone Would Love to Own", Ford said. Apparently so, for in the 10 months of its production run, 67,456 examples of it made their way to proud new owners. That was no small feat in 1959 for a car that topped the $5,100 mark; double the price of the "average" Ford. Thunderbird measures its success not only in terms of how many are sold,  but in its spirit, its prestige, and its singularity. No other car has been quite like Thunderbird - ever! This week, August 29, 2003, the Thunderbird Registry celebrates its first year on-line. With well over 10,000 Thunderbirds available for your viewing pleasure, the Registry is the definitive spot for the

"World's Most Wanted Car".

The sky was the limit when it came to choosing a color for your 1959 Thunderbird Hardtop! No less than 18 single colors that could be combined to make 41 two-tone combinations! All told, there were 127 different combinations.

   "Don't you love Power-Lift Windows?" 

The Convertible could be had in any of 18 exterior colors. Figure in 7 different convertible tops and 14 different interiors, and you had your choice of 76 color-coordinated convertibles!

The 1959 Thunderbird was available in a dizzying array of paints, leathers, vinyls, and fabrics! Would you believe there were no less than 203 variations? Any color you like... including black!

And don't forget, there's also a trunk that is 5'5" wide with over 20 cubic feet of space. That's room for all the luggage needed for a cross-country trip!
