We believe the chrome and stainless trim is original, and it’s all in very good condition, from the simple front bumper to the chrome spears running the length of the bodywork to the Thunderbird script on the front fenders, none of which is pitted or deteriorated. Panel fit is quite good (remember that these are unit-body cars, believe it or not) and even the massive deck lid snugs itself down after the convertible top does its thing. This big ‘Bird is wearing all its original sheetmetal and thanks to a lifetime in Oklahoma and Texas, rust is a non-issue. That suggests that either the door tag is incorrect (possible) or the repaint was extremely thorough, and it shows quite well even some years later. If you check the door tag, you’ll see that it shows code M Wimbledon White, but quite honestly, I can find no trace of white paint on the car and no evidence that it was ever a different color.

The softly sprung suspension allowed considerable body lean, wallow, and float on curves and bumps. The Thunderbird's sporty image had by that time become only that: the standard 390-cubic-inch 300 bhp (224 kW) V8 engine needed nearly 11 seconds to push the heavy T-bird to 60 mph (96 km/h). This generation of the Thunderbird was restyled in favor of a more squared-off, "formal" look. The fourth generation of the Ford Thunderbird is a large personal luxury car produced by Ford for the 1964 to 1966 model years.
