1963 Ford Thunderbird 4X4 Roof SUV

In the early sixties, Grace Kelly was a icon of American culture. She was an Academy Award winning movie star and had a fairy tale romance with the Prince of Monaco that had resulted in marriage, making her a world wide sensation. Ford had learned that Princess Grace was considering re-establishing her acting career so they used the opportunity to build a promotional car in her honor. On February 7, 1960 Ford introduced a special Limited Edition Thunderbird Landau Coupe called the "Principality of Monaco". They only built 2000 of these cars, each individually numbered 1 through 2000. This is number 506. It is in outstanding condition and has been kept very original. The body, paint, trim, and chrome, are in great shape. The immaculate white interior is beautiful and very comfortable. The "Bullet Bird" as these are affectionately called had some of the most graceful (pardon the pun) flowing lines and most luxurious interiors of the time. As much as the original 55 T-Birds recall the fifties, nothing screams sixties luxury like the 61 through 63 T-Birds. Power comes from a 300 horse 390 V-8 and automatic transmission. It has power steering, power brakes, and factory air conditioning. As you would expect, on such a special car, it also has leather bucket seats with power adjustment on the drivers side, power windows, Simulated Rosewood trim, full console, AM/FM stereo, padded dash and matching 3 spoke steering wheel. A gold toned ID plate is mounted to the console disclosing the unit number along with a commemorative plaque above it. The Rose color vinyl top was exclusive to this model and set a trend that would last until the mid eighties. The Corinthian white paint is accented with Kelsey-Hays real wire wheels with wide white wall tires mounted to them. This is a very special T-Bird that anyone would be proud to own. I doubt you will see another one at your local car show or cruise night. Even if you are too young to remember Princes Grace this T-Bird stands on its own as a lovely reminder of the pinnacle of the American car culture of the sixties. By far one of the most intriguing cars we have ever offered for sale at any price. Financing, insurance, and delivery are available.
