We’re told it has 102,000 miles and runs and shifts into gears.
We don’t know a lot about how the seller’s car has spent the past 58 years, but it’s probably been off the road for a while. The most popular was the two-door hardtop that came in at 68,000 cars or 87%, with the convertible and the new Sports Roadster with its special fiberglass tonneau cover for the rear seats comprising the rest. 1962 was the car’s fifth year as a four-seater and sales continued to be brisk at some 78,000 units.

The marque was always at the forefront of the personal luxury segment in some fashion, becoming something of an American “grand tourer” that focused on driver comfort, although they were no slouches in the handing and performance departments. The Thunderbird proved to be one of Ford’s longest-running nameplates, lasting an astonishing 11 generations over the better part of 50 years.

This Thunderbird from 1962 looks pretty solid overall and has likely been off the road for a while. The third generation, made from 1961-63, had “space-age” styling with their bullet-like sculpture. The gamble paid off as sales more than tripled and they continued on the high side for years to come. Ford gambled in 1958 and turned the 2-passenger Thunderbird into a 4-seat personal luxury car.
