Description
I was traveling Northwest of Santa Fe New Mexico when I ran across this old Thunderbird sitting Outside a "convience" store in the middle of the desert with nothing around. I couldn't resist the photograph.

The Thunderbird first rolled out its generation of revolutionary four-seater Squarebirds in 1958. A huge commercial hit, these roomy sedans lobbed 10 inches off of the then-standard car height, giving the Squarebird its roadster appeal and sports car look. Sitting 52.5 inches off the ground and costing anywhere from $3,755 for a hard top to $4,222 for a convertible, the Squarebird evolved over the next several years.
The 1960 Ford Thunderbird (Squarebird) continued the revolutionary design of its predecessor, maintaining a uniquely square design that became the blueprint for many of today's two-door sedans, including the luxury lines built by Lexus and Mercedes. With its full-length center console and front bucket seats, the 1960 T-bird model got a new grille as well as the option of a new, manually operated sunroof for hardtops. It sold a brisk 92,843.
