1959 Ford Thunderbird Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 1959 Ford Thunderbird was the second of the "Square Birds." It was very similar to the award-winning 1958 Thunderbird, with one exception: more power! The Thunderbird continued its four-seater era, but added an engine worthy of pulling much more weight than that comprised of four people. The base engine remained at an impressive 5.8-liter, 352-ci V8 rated at 300 horsepower. New for the 1959 T-bird was a MEL series 7.0-liter 430 V8 rated at 350 horsepower. Sales went up drastically as a result, with 67,456 units sold, 10,261 of which were convertibles.

Convertible top went into the trunk,boot lid pulled up and with trunk closed made for a sleek looking ride.With a 352cu.in.4bbl.,Cruseomatic transmission,it wasn't no muscle car.But then again it never was designed to be.What it was,was a good looking stylish smooth riding automobile and with a pair of Thrush glass packs and a loud rockin'sound system, I always had girls wanting to ride with me.Apr 24, 2009

Well its in a state of chaos right now as its being restored. But it has 428 Cobra Jet with around 400+ horse power. So hopefully I'll finish this right after we finish restoring the 65 Mustang. The interior has been redone with all marine leather. Over all i love this car, especially the lines.Oct 17, 2008

very classy. 351 V-8, auto, power steering, windows, locks. No factory air. Rebuilt dash, rest awaiting restoration. Likes premium leaded gas, type F transmission fluid. Rebuilt brakes, new tires, hope to have it running and driving this summer. Have carb kit, new fuel filter (new old stock) need oil change, fuel tank flush, get it started and tuned up. Needs new hoses, antifreeze, etc. Then comes body and paint, finish interior.Jan 28, 2008

Will reproduction 15" wire wheels on a 59 Thunderbird work with the skirts in the rear?
Did a disc brake conversion on the front of my 1959 convertible and will now need to convert the car to 15" rims. Willing to buy new wire wheels with radial wide whitewalls, but would like to know what width wire rims will work and still be able to use the skirts in the rear
