This is the beautiful 1958 Ford Thunderbird Convertible, MIB, w/full documentation in Monarch Blue, released in 2005. The paint is flawless with a deep, high gloss finish. Includes the care instructions and blank title as shown. Some Diecast Zone comments written for the Monarch Blue '58 Bird:"As collectors we have been asking for a, “Square Bird” for some time. I am grateful, personally, that it was the Danbury Mint who came to our rescue. Fresh off of my new love affair with their 1955, “Baby Bird”, in Goldenrod Yellow, I have been anxious to review the four-seater that replaced Ford’s beloved ’55 through ’57 two-seater cars. Robert McNamara, CEO of Ford in 1958, decided to give customers their requested extra trunk space and back seat with the new-for-1958 model. Also on his mind was Chevrolet’s competing Corvette, a car that developed the two place sporty car concept for America’s highways, two years earlier than the Thunderbird’s debut. With the addition of quad headlights, a cube-like roof and lack of rounded body lines, the cars were termed, “Square Birds”. They were well accepted and the ’58 was named as Motor Trend’s Car of the Year. With a new unitized body, all new 352 cubic inch V-8 and very well appointed cabin, the T-Bird was now being touted as a, “Personal Luxury Car”.Other comments and pictures: /diecast98/html/asp/list_ read more
