1966 Thunderbird

 

1966 was a good year from Dearborn and in our opinion hatched one of the best of the 'Birds. AL caught this car at Motorland in Arundel, Maine. Here's a 1963 Thunderbird from the Bay Area. And Chip Lord with the exalted 1962 Thunderbird.

1963 Ford Thunderbird. Neville, Saskatchewan

 

From Alex Emond: 'This Bird o' Thunder was sitting in a drive in Neville, Saskatchewan. Looks stock, original, and in pretty good shape. Maybe the rear wheel "skirts" are in the trunk. A couple of days in a good shop and she'd be ready to roll." We posted a 1963 Thunderbird and a 1965 Thunderbird from Aruncel, Maine. Here's '63 from the Bay Area.

1966 Thunderbird, New Hampshire

 

from Reid Cunningham : This was at a repair place in Exeter; there was a box with a new part on the seat. I found it interesting that it had a regular NH plate and not an antique vehicle registration. So, likely a real summer driver. It's good to see interesting cars being enjoyed as intended instead of being show pieces and trailer queens.

AL: we posted a 1966 Thunderbird at Motorland in Arundel Maine a while back;  more Bird links in that post.

Couple birds in Maine

Caught this pair of Ford Thunderbirds at Motorland in Arundel, Maine in October. A 1963 Ford Thunderbird and 1965 Ford Thunderbird.

1963 Thunderbird

from Michael Moore in the Bay Area: "Cold and foggy along the straits but I did spot this unmolested early sixties Thunderbird on my way to the market this morning." MSM

1963 Thunderbird. Fire in the West.

from our correspondent in Colorado Springs:
"So now we're starting to have flash floods. Manitou streets are covered with black silt from the Waldo Canyon burn scar.

On a lighter note, I've been waiting for the right time to take photos of this "bandaid pink" Thunderbird on 30th St. at Pikes Peak."--A.L.

1965 Thunderbird. Manchester, New Hampshire.

 

From Reid Cunningham,  Manchester NH. "Completely restored and perfect. Nice to see someone driving this to work and enjoying it on the road."

AL: We posted a '65 Bird from Vermont a couple weeks back.

..."Fancy enough to have Thunderbird on the hubcaps!"

MO Thunderbird

 

Basha Burwell caught the 1957 T'Bird in St Louis. Nice little machine though I wish turquoise was not such a popular color for '50s restorations. This car is missing it wheel skirts, which would cover approximately half the wheelwell. We posted a 1956 Thunderbird from San Mateo.
