Print Ad - Thunderbird for `59

So what was the competition doing in 1959? Well the Blue Oval had it in their mind set on a four-seater Thunderbird that was new for 1958. Frankly it's a car that people either love or hate. This particular body style lasted from 1958 through 1960. I love it. If I wasn't an entrenched `59 Chevy fanatic I would probably be saving up for one of these right now.

Ad depicts affectionate skiers with their wonder car. If you look at Thunderbird ads from this era on through the sixties - then into the early seventies - they all seem to have the same flavor. Dramatic skies or building backgrounds, interesting angles, and impossibly adorable people. And when I purchased my `68 Thunderbird I joined their svelte ranks.

Okay, not really. But I would own another one at a moment's notice.
