This is not the actual car, but a prototype model. A 1961 Thunderbird was the first car I bought. Not a new car, I picked it up in 1969 for $600 when I lived in San Jose, California. It had power everywhere and with the flick of a switch the trunk would open and the convertible top would fold into it. It was large, roomy, powerful, and sucked up gas like a wino with his first swig of the day. I really loved that car, and to this date it remains my all-time favorite. I traded it in for the 1972 Capri I discussed a week or so back, and at the time I thought it was on its last legs. Four years later I was cruising down the freeway and it blew past me going 80. I kick myself to this day for letting it go. My T-Bird was white with an aqua interior. I currently have a bid in for a model of one on eBay and I'm determind to win it, no doubt at a price far beyond its value.

My first car, bought in 1969 as well, I called my Beach Boys car: a 1963 black Impala, four speed, dual quad, positraction 409.
Talk about sucking down gas.
Great car, Randy. It probably belongs to a low rider today, unless it was totaled.
Great car, Randy, as we look at this car it looks like classic cars of 1961. I think, this car was more friendly to you.t probably belongs to a low rider today, unless it was totaled.
