View our eBay StoreSign up for our Email Newsletter 1965 Ford Thunderbird Convertible offered with a reserve This exceptionally nice and original car was purchased by the sellers father in the seventies, has been kept in climate controlled storage and used sparingly over the ensuing years. The car was repainted some time back and has a few minor flaws here and there, but is quite presentable as is. Featuring a working vintage A/C system, the car also has power steering, brakes, and top, AM radio, and swing away steering wheel, this exceptional low mileage car is pretty well equipped. This is undoubtedly one of the most desirable period color schemes for these cars. The Jet Birds are really coming on value wise and are truly a time piece that perfectly personifies the mid 60's. Convertibles are very sporting and stylish and I doubt you will find one that has had the excellent care this car has had its entire life. We have many more photographs of this car, please click on any image to be taken to our full-size image list! The Ford Thunderbird is an Iconic car...no collection is complete without at least one. Three men are generally credited with creating the original Thunderbird: Lewis D. Crusoe, a retired GM executive lured out of retirement by Henry Ford II; George Walker, chief stylist and a Ford vice-president; and Frank Hershey, a Ford designer. Crusoe and Walker met in France in October 1951. Walking in the Grand Palais in Paris, Crusoe pointed at a sports car and asked Walker, 'Why can't we have something like that?' Walker promptly telephoned Ford's HQ and told designer Frank Hershey about the idea. Hershey took the idea and began working on the vehicle. The concept was for a two-passenger open car, with a target weight of 2525 lb, an Interceptor V8 and a top speed of over 100 mph. Crusoe saw a painted clay model on, which corresponded closely to the final car; he gave the car the go-ahead in September 1953 after comparing it with current European trends. Unlike the Corvette, the Thunderbird was never a full-blown sporting vehicle; Ford's description was personal luxury car, and the company essentially created this market segment. There was some difficulty in naming the car, with suggestions ranging from the exotic to the ridiculous (Hep Cat, Beaver, Detroiter, Runabout, Arcturus, Savile, El Tigre, and Coronado). Crusoe offered a $250 suit to anyone who could come up with a better name. Stylist Alden "Gib" Giberson submitted Thunderbird as part of a list. Giberson got the idea from the native american image on a coffee cup he had received as a child while living in Los Alamos NM, which he kept on his drafting table at Ford. Giberson never claimed his prize, settling for a $95 suit and an extra pair of trousers from Saks Fifth Avenue. According to Palm Springs Life magazine, the car's final name came not from the Native American symbol as one might expect, but from an ultra-exclusive housing tract in what would later be incorporated as Rancho Mirage, California: Thunderbird Heights. The car was shown at the Detroit Auto Show in 1954. The first production car came off the line in September, 1954, and went on sale in October as a 1955 model, and sold briskly; 3,500 orders were placed in the first ten days of sale. Ford had only projected building 10,000; eventual 1955 sales were 16,155. Although the original Thunderbird was successful, the corporation's executives -- particularly Robert McNamara -- felt its sales volume was small. Market research suggested that sales were limited by its two-seat configuration, making it unsuitable as an only car for families. The second generation, introduced for the 1958 model year, was designed as a four-seat car.For 1964 the Thunderbird was restyled in favor of a more squared-off, "formal" look. The Thunderbird's sporty image had by that time become only an image. The standard 390-cubic-inch 300 bhp engine needed nearly 11 seconds to push the heavy T-bird to 60 mph , although with enough room a top speed of about 120 mph was obtainable. The softly sprung suspension allowed considerable body lean, wallow, and float except on smoothly surfaced highways; there was an export suspension package available as special order. Contemporary testers felt that the Buick Riviera and Pontiac Grand Prix were substantially more road-able cars, but the Thunderbird remained the leader of the market segment. The revised model was initially offered as a hardtop, a convertible, or Landau, with vinyl roof and simulated landau irons. Several features intended for the new generation were delayed until 1965, when front disc brakes became standard equipment and sequential turn signals were added.

1932 Ford "Jackman Brothers" Sport Coupe Ford 75th Anniversary - Historic Deuce Hot Rod Presentation | Detail | Engine & Undercarriage | Documentation Deuce 75th Anniversary Event | Restoration Details Vehicle 1932 Ford "Jackman Brothers" Sport Coupe Owner: Harry Contact Brian Location: Coronado, California Email: Click Here Phone: 208-890-0337 Description Spuds Garage is honored to document and offer this historic example selected as 1 of "The Most Significant 32 Ford Hot Rods" for the 75th Anniversary of the 1932 Ford (1932-2007). During and leading up to this Historic event presented by Ford Motor Company, several prominent hot-rod historians, serious automotive enthusiasts and journalist's joined together to document, proudly revisit & present their part of Hot Rod history, encapsulating these cars forever. With that said, the History of the "Jackman Brothers Deuce Sport Coupe" is best told by those who lived it and wrote about it... "Jackman Brothers Sport Coupe" "The Model B-50 Sport Coupe is one of the rarest of 32 Fords. Based on the 5-window coupe, a fixed soft top replaced the rear quarter windows and steel roof structure. only 2,911 were produced and the body style was dropped in 1933. Thus not many became hot rods. An exceptional exception belonged to Tom and Harry Jackman of El Cajon, California. Their father, Tom Sr., had been involved with cars since the 20's and owned oval track race cars for many years. He got the boys started when they were 10 and 11 years old. After "some old junkers" their father bought them this car for $75. With instructions to "do the job right and stick to it", they tore the car down to the last bolt and reassembled it three times. They felt building the car taught them "patience, thoroughness and the ability to be meticulous," as they wrote on the spec sheet of the show entry. Their work was rewarded when they won the Sweepstakes trophy at the San Diego Custom Car Show in 1959. They were then 16 and 17 years old. The car appeared in Hot Rod Magazine twice, August of 1959 when it was black, and again in 1962. In its final form everything but the body and engine was chrome plated including the frame. Scalloped and pinstriped clear Plexiglass floorboards showed off the chromed transmission and detailed chassis components. The engine was a 312 c.i. 1957 Thunderbird Y-block with Isky cam and Edelbrock dual quad manifold. Individual chrome headers extended all the way to the rear bumper. Candy Wild Cherry paint and silver tuck and roll contrasted the white padded top and running boards. Chrome wheels and '50 Merc hubcaps were sometimes replaced by polished smoothed Halibrands. Ironically, the Sport Coupe won dozens of awards intended for roadsters." Credit: Show Display "When we first spoke with Harry Jackman over a year ago, the whereabouts of the Sport Coupe were unknown, but the significance of Tom, Harry and their friend's hot rodding that Deuce more than 40 years ago was very clear. In early 2006, Hot Rod Hotline, through its extensive website coverage and contacts, located the body of Harry and Tom's car in Kansas. Pete Mustain had purchased it, now mounted on a different chassis, with plans to build a hot rod. In an unusual but terrific turn of events, Pete's plans have brought the Jackman body full circle - back to a look similar to its first Hot Rod Magazine appearance. When Harry was unsuccessful in his attempts to buy back the original body, he approached the event organizers to see if we would be willing to exhibit (along with the originally bodied car) a recreation of the 1962 version. With the support of Pete Mustain, the consent of the Selection Panel and about eight months to go, Harry and his friends went to work. Hot rodding has always been about the experience of creating your dream car. In the case of the Jackman Sport Coupe, the '62 Hot Rod Magazine is Harry's dream car, and the 59 Hot Rod Magazine version is Pete Mustain's. Both men and their circle of friends have made outstanding efforts to have these cars here. The "75" organizers are honored to present this pair of Deuces."
