1959 Ford Thunderbird "Survivor"

1959 Ford Thunderbird

This car is a “Survivor” which means it has been maintained since new and has never been restored.
I purchased this car in 2014 from a gentleman living in Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri. He found it in a barn. He had it repainted and got it back to driveable condition.
He owned this car for 25+ years. It was his “Baby” and no one drove it but him.
This car is all original except for the radio. He had upgraded the radio to one with a cassette player in it. Unfortunately, he didn’t retain the original radio.

This car has won a trophy at every Car Show it was entered into.

Engine is a 352 ci.
