Introduction

The fourth-generation Ford Thunderbird established itself in 1964 as the epitome of automotive luxury. With a breathtaking design and elegant lines, the Thunderbird clearly set itself apart from its predecessors. Despite the fading sporty image, the car still retained the impressive 390cc V8 engine with an output of 316 hp. Thanks to the smooth suspension, the Thunderbird could move through corners with impressive agility and glide effortlessly over bumps. The fourth version of the Thunderbird embodies the spirit of an era, characterized by sophisticated style and uncompromising comfort.
