Immaculate recent restoration with lots of options is ready to be enjoyed!
The Thunderbird for 1961 introduced several firsts for the automotive market. The most distinctive feature of the 1961 to 1963 Thunderbirds was the highly touted 'Swing Away' steering wheel.[2][3] With the transmission in the park position the steering wheel would slide approximately 18 inches (460 mm) to the right allowing the driver to exit the vehicle easily. Other innovations include a floating rear view mirror. Common on all autos produced today, this feature was first found on 1961 Thunderbirds. Depending on variable options Thunderbirds for 1961 could be purchased with options like air conditioning, power windows, power seats, AM radio, fender skirts and white wall tires. Several standard features, like power steering and power brakes, back up lights and bucket seats were costly options on most other autos.
This particular example is in pristine condition with show quality paint, chrome and interior. It is equipped with 4 way power driver seat, power windows, power top, AM radio, fender skirts, white wall tires, seat belts, and wire wheels. The car runs and drives like it looks-fantastically! Here is a video test drive:

It starts easily, runs smoothly, shifts like butter, and stops straight and quick. The roadster fiberglass cover removes easily to reveal two back seats.
This car has received a great deal of attention and car and the result is a striking car in great condition. This car is consigned to sell by a motivated owner.
