All it needs is Elvis, a surf board, a guitar, and some leggy starlets on an ocean beach. I was just a little kid but I remember these beauties well. Those tail lights are iconic.

If I could have one car in the whole world this would be the one. What a beauty.

From 1957 through 1960 we lived next-door to a doctor who bought a brand new Thunderbird every year. He had a 1960 black Thunderbird convertible and I thought it was the bees knees!

From 1955 until 1971, the T-Bird occupied an exalted and unique position in the Ford lineup. Lou, the more of these you can showcase, the better.

Love the square birds and the 60’s were the best of the three years. This one is exceptional in every way! He needs to take it out and run it hard to blow all of the crap out of it!

I fell in love with as soon as the video came on.... Red T-bird, 430, and a convertible ! This has it all !! Beautiful car - thanks lou & to Dennis ,the "lucky owner, thank you !

She is a beauty guys!Love those square birds,and that body style!One of my favorite colors too!Great presentation Lou!!!

Such a classic T-Bird! The package as a whole is awesome, but my favorite aspect of this generation of the Thunderbirds are the taillights. They always reminded me of jet propulsion taking off down the runway. Gee, I winder why? LOL!! The coming of the jet age. Thanks Lou & Dennis for a great Saturday morning treat!

I would love to be his personal mechanic /detailer so they would run and look perfect at any moment dream job for sure.

PERRY MASON AKA RAYMOND BURR HAD A BLACK 1960 ON THE SHOW !!! BEAUTIFUL AUTOMOBILE LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL !!!!

My goodness! A Double J Square 'Bird, with a convertible top, too? Mr. Roxworthy continues to impress! And what a nice day for a little cruise. Thanks for taking us along, Lou.

My Uncle had one of these models, probably a 1958 Hardtop four-door. I got to ride in it when I was like six or seven years old!

I never really liked those birds until I saw that one!!! Such a beauty!!!! That engine was so smooth, it didn't quiver one bit even when it was cranked up. Beautiful car!!!!

Increible car, the roof that hides on the trunk it's fantastic, more so coming from such an old car. It's so clean and perfect that it seems that came from the time tunnel.

They had replicas of these at Playland in Western Springs. Headlights and taillights worked. You got to drive them on a little track. It was great.

Oh my! my Favorite Bird. '60 T'bird ragtop. WOW! STUNNING! I love the retractable cover. One of my Grand Uncle had one like this, same color and white top. I love it when he revved the engine, got goose bump, I was fairly young in the early 70s. I believed the car lasted until the 90s. I don't know what had happened to it. It flew back to its nest LOL.

Wow......that literally took over a full minute for the top to come down. Time consuming, but what a mechanical dream. The amount of thought and time to make this happen in 1960 is just amazing.

If the Jetsons had a car. Beautiful 💖 Thanks Lou!

Beautiful example. Dennis's cars never disappoint when focusing on even the most minute details. Many don't realize that sales of the T-Bird really took off when the square-birds were introduced in 1958. Buyers who always wanted one in '55-'57 often hesitated due to the limitations of them being a 2-seater. They square-birds lost that true sports roadster feel, but they were more practical. I particular like the '60 for one single reason - the triple tail lamps.

He sure took care of it. BOY, did he take care of it. Thank you for sharing.

Now THAT'S an American car. In a stunning color combo too. Granted, quality control wasn't a big deal in the 60's and it was rare if all the power options all worked at any given time, but it was so pretty, nobody cared.

Beautiful automobile, a friend of mine had one with a 460 in it you can see the gas gauge move going down the street Good up load Lye.

Thumbs up now… Watching later… This one… It’s a beauty… I’ll comment when i watch the entire video. Off to work… Thanks Lou

A real beauty of the golden era. I love it! 👌❤️

Damn ! Dennis has quite a collection and this T-bird is a stunner . Thanks again Lou and also thanks to Dennis for sharing his collection.

My late uncle bought a new T-Bird every year. He very much enjoyed them and whoever got them after he was done with them essentially got a new car. If I remember correctly, they were all ragtops.

Nicest 1960 Thunderbird ihave ever seen...... Groovy

Very nice Square Bird. These are not appreciated enough in my view. Great Car Story Lou! Thank you!

Lou you never fail to delive ,,,,nice car this one is a jewel ,,top's and red too!

Thumbs up from this Ford guy.

Thunderbird advertising was really excellent. Beautiful car. It's great that Ford still builds a convertible, the tradition goes on. Nice for Dennis to take you on a drive. 👍

Lou, the square birds are my favorite birds. I remember my friends Mom picking me up to to take us to the swimming pool in her plum purple with cream interior Thunderbird convertible. Wow that car was gorgeous and loved riding in it. I wish I had that car. Another great video Lou. Keep em coming.

A very nice car. When you could buy a car just the way you wanted it. Literature was great.

The 1958 T-Bird taillights inspired the venerable McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom !! (Most people thought it was the other way around.)

Hey there's Dennis again! Beautiful Thunderbird! Those seats look really comfortable.

Fantastic convertible system wow !!!

now thats a true work of art! and I love those seats!.

thunderbird convertible, another dream 💕

Best looking TBird ever!

Just a beautiful car.

I loved these T-Birds - 58 - 60 - as a kid. I thought they were the most fantastic cars in the world, and decided that when I grew up, I would buy one, not realizing at first that cars get restyled every so often. I was so disappointed when the 61 came out. "They ruined it" I claimed. Turned out that lots of adults also felt that way. Sales fell sharply that year.

Man oh man... that really is a nice car. I usually don’t pay alot of attention to this era of Fords but that’s been my mistake. I love this car and Dennis is obviously a great guy who loves his cars and life in general. Good job finding a rare beauty !

Another great video Lou. My Uncle Sam had a red hardtop the same year model in the late 1960s. He said that he got it cheap because none of the power windows worked. He got them them fixed and drove it for about 10 years and it got wrecked in a pile up wreck on a busy interstate in the late 1970s.

My dad had a 59. What a beautiful car. 2 dr hardtop.

Such a beautiful and pretty artistic shot when the top was going down with the red car, green barn and water tower in the background!!

1958 1959 and 1960 All appear to look the same👍👍 Mr WELSH

Rolling sculpture👍🏼

Gorgeous Thunderbird 💖 the designer left no stone unturned. Exquisite!

I love Dennis Lou! He is Ford blue through and through and though I am not in position $$ to own all these wonderful Fords I get to enjoy them vicariously through Dennis thanks to you! I have been a fan of yours since the early days and meeting the Great My car Story legend is on my bucket list. Lou last March I had quadruple bypass at 65 yrs old. Well I have new life thanks to my Lord Jesus and have never felt better! Maybe I'll run into at one of the big car shows and tell you thanks in person. Blessings Rob

Love the "Square 'Birds! In college in suburban Youngstown late 60s worked for a small car lot. Had a 58 'Bird as a driver for my tasks. it was a gold convertible. Very fun car. Looking back. we had so many awesome "common" cars through the lot during my time there until graduation. Often wished now for a Jay Leno sized aircraft hangar to have saved them in. Hindsight of course. We just never guessed what we had into the future. Glad this video showed up in my random views!👍👍

I'm not sure how many '60 'bird convertibles made their way to Canada, Toronto, but I've never seen one! Just magnificent, awesome summer drive. Great job guys.

Love the 60 tbirds! And a 430! Wow

Thanks Lou and Dennis of course for these documentaries you create of these extra special classics. This automotive sculpture is astounding in its appearance and its presence. I particularly loved the 1950's dash, the typical 50's two colour interior upholstery and isn't that Lincoln engine smooth as silk and aren't those tail lights iconic. I like that Dennis described this T' Bird as solidly built twin sheet metal...built to last. A quiet, head turning cruiser.

absolutely beautiful square bird, more beautiful than the first generation thunderbirds imo

One of the prettiest of the T-Birds. thanks guys.

What a great car,,, best looking one of all time!

One of my favorite cars. Stunning classic.

Dennis had some nice Fords for sure and I saw your car parked around the side and it's no slouch. Thanks.

That one is Special! Wow, it was very expensive at the time for that Model! No Mistaking this for something else! Thanks to You & Dennis

Great looking car Lou

The hard top is just as beautiful...

What a Smokin' nice Convertible T Bird! These just scream CLASS! GREAT VIDEO LOU

The best channel to feature fantastic vintage cars and their owners !

Super nice car with a super nice host , thank you Dennis and Lou.

The 60 is my fave for that body style

Most beautiful bird ever!! When I can afford a “fun” car it will be this or the 64-66! Loved them my entire life!! I want one as a daily driver !:-) Thanks for sharing this exceptional car!!!!

Great One Lou! This is a real gem.

Thanks lou great show!!!

I like the front grill and the round tail lights on the 60

I bought a '60 in 1970. Had a sun roof and full power, should've kept it.

Beautiful car! I never realized how many unique features the “square bird” had. I do believe that this body style with the four seats was the first personal luxury car. Dodge didn’t get one til the ‘66 Charger, and Chevy the ‘70 Monte Carlo.

What a beauty! I love the square birds!

Hi, Lou! Well, everyone in Dennis' family has had a '60 T-Bird, so it looks like they have all given credence to the slogan "world's most wanted car"! And now that we've been given the virtual ride, we all feel "special"! Thank you both for letting us all have fun, fun, fun! P.S. 17:10: *Cough!* *Cough!* *Cough!*

This was the first model kit i bought when i was young and ever since then this would be the car i would buy if i won the lottery.although i dont think the climate in yorkshire would be ideal for such a stunning car.

Magnificent. Fabulous line and length.

Ford really did colour back then, inside and out.

What a beautiful car!

Dennis sure has a real treasure here! Another piece of automotive history here boy! I have to say so far in Dennis's collection this one rates right up there in the top three of my favorites of his. I love love the color and that interior color and style just fits right in like a fancy living room type furniture. My lord and Ford back in those days sure had the best innovation on concealing their power tops no matter which one it is. I cannot imagine how long it took to devise the operation of those tops. I had a 352 in my 1965 Ford Country Sedan had a 4 bbl on it would not pass a gas station. That engine in this unit was spectacular and in the ride it looked extremely peppy! Dennis sure has awesome cars and toys. I have enjoyed seeing everything of his. The knowledge he has on each and every car or toy is amazing. My dad would sure like Dennis if he was living and would so enjoy his toys and cars. I am anxious to see what he has next if he has another one on the block to show. That ride along was really cool and that car is so very elegant looking. Just love the style of the car all the way around! Thanks Lou and Dennis for sharing this awesome unit!!!

Great car and video helped a ton building a very old model kit of the 60 bird. Thanks peace

Dennis that is ultra cool. I've been looking for one these. Amazing cars. Well done. Lou - thanks for a wonderful post. drooling in Hong Kong.

Thanks Lou and Dennis Impressive car. Dennis is right about "Ford knew what they were doing...) My dad was a Chevy man for the most part when I was a kid. I was unfamiliar with Ford's prior to the 1966 models. I was an adult when I bought a 1960 Ford Galaxie Town Sedan. I was amazed at how good the Ford body was as well as the doors etcetera. All the metal on the outside of the body was thicker and better built than the Chevrolets of that vintage. Ford had a very strong body. It's a shame that all cars, no matter how well they're built always rust away.

Beautiful car, ole Dennis has some nice stuff. Great video Lou!

A fantastic car! I see that Ford ended up “repurposing” its 1957-59 Skyliner retractable roof setup, with all its complicated “relays”, for this ‘60 T-Bird.

@15:27 the coolant reservoir tank. Owner is partially correct on why they came to fruition. Early days, cars had a vent tube out of the radiator. When the system pressure exceeded the radiator cap specifications, the pressure would set off a relief valve in the radiator cap which would allow the coolant mixture to simply dump out onto the road. This required the owner to routinely top off the radiator, it also polluted the environment. So regulations were passed, and the reservoir was implemented. The reservoir simply collects that overflow. Also, as the vehicle cools, a vacuum effect occurs, which allows the cooling system to suck the overflow back into the radiator.

beautiful, right up my alley!

I think the T-Bird was the only saving grace from the for 50s lineup (and Continental Mark 2). Thanks Lou

You gotta love the "square bird" Awesome! Thanks for posting Lou! Keep up the great posting of some real American auto "sculpture"!!!!

Well now you went and did it Lou!! You made me like the 2nd gen T-Bird.. lol Thanks again Lou, keep'em coming 👍

It looks brand new! I really prefer the looks of the 1961 -1963.

Beautiful interior.

I saw one of those back in 86' thought it would make a great fixer upper..but I allready had 2 cars..yep it was a red on red rag top.

Dear Lou I was just thinking about either a 1968 or 1969 Thundetbird Suicide 4-Door Sedan when you come up with this 1960 Convertible! I sold my 1994 Mark 8 and am Driving a 2005 Cadillac STS in Light Grey with Light Grey Leather Interior with 3.6 V6 VVT Engine! They went back to Rear Wheel Drive in 2004 ! It has a ASTRO Roof in it! Body has no Rust they built these on the Corvette Chassis! I still talk to the Gentleman that Purchased my 1979 Phaeton 4-Door Sedan they Replaced a Oil Pump on the 425 V-8 as well as a Fuel Pump which I had replaced with a New one just a few weeks before it was sold in December of 2019! That 430 V8 adds 30% more to the Value of the Vehicle I remember seeing a Pink One for sale in a Magazine with that Optional Motor!

I mean when he 'revved up' the engine, it reminds me of the sound of a Jet boosters.

Really liked how Ford never went for the huge fins and instead made them small and smart.

Wow so cool, Paul drake drove one in Perry Mason. Beautiful

Que impecable AUTO ! gracias por el video

stunning design

I didnt know u could get a Lincoln motor in those.What a nice car with that electric convertible.Thanks for sharing.

Well built, very cool car.....I can see why it would well over $60,000 in today's money.

That 430 engine was built for the new Continentals of the 58-60 era. They needed a new andlarger engine, as they were getting larger and heavier. It was used not only in the TBirds, but the Edsels as well.
