- Barry Hilbert shows off his 1959 T-Bird "Square Bird" to Lance Lambert, host of television's "Vintage Vehicle Show". Why did Ford turn the small "Little Bird" into a much larger four passenger car? How come these cars have no frames and why where they such a favorite of demolition derby drivers? More information about the "Vintage Vehicle Show" can be found by visiting www.vintagevehicletv.com
She's a beautiful classic
Son unos autos increíbles espectaculares
I took my driving test in a 59 T-Bird convertible. 1968 what an awesome automobile.
the '59 T-Bird is my all-time favorite car. the styling for these 50+ year old cars is still sleeker and more modern than anything produced today.
That was the show that inspired me to purchase a 59 Thunderbird convertable which I still own.
I once owned a white 1960 convert T'Bird, the best looking car I ever owned. Man. I wish I had that car today !
Square birds have my heart! TFS
My older brother bought a 1959 T-Bird with a 463 cubic inch engine. It was all black inside and out. He toke me to the Black Canyon Freeway (Phoenix I-17 now)and got it up to 140 on the speedometer. I was 14 and somewhat scared. Oh, and the ladies loved it.
Spectacular car! I always preferred the "square birds" to the two seaters.....the 58-60's have always been the best designed T-birds in my opinion. Just beautiful...true American work of art!
77 Sunset Strip was the first time I saw one of these cars in the 70s. I liked the car.
One of the few cars that actually looks like its name.
Excellent video! Thank you!
Very insightful statistics in this video, thanks.
Excellent video! I own a 59 Thunderbird Convertible. Red/white interior, black exterior 352 V8. I love the car. It's quiet. What a thrill to drive. It has lots of power when you need it.
Fine car, in spite of limited trunk space.
Great video. Very informative.
Somewhere out there is a Squarebird convertible I saw back in the 80's which had the 430 ci engine...and a 4-speed manual transmission.
love it
I'll bet a few of those glove box doors took off a few knee caps too.
They had a print ad in 1959 that shows a red 59 convertible in front of a mansion with a mini version of the 59 Tbird called a Thunderbird Junior that was a powered promotional car used by dealers to attract customers. I have the factory original molds that made the Thunderbird JR fiberglass body and can make replacement original bodies along with most of the other parts. Check my videos to learn more about JR cars from the Powercar company of Mystic CT
The car wasn't even 20 at the time. Planned obsolescence made cars look old fast back in the era.
I have a 59 Conv. J model (430 MEL engine) Been in the family since it was new. Email me if interest in pics.
same one I have except mine is a black and white interior
😮 $1500 !!! I just got mine for $39,000
Beautiful car, but nt my favorite bird.
The top on this car is shit, it's OK otherwise.......................
