We now saw THUNDERBIRD spelled out in letters across the front of the hood, rather than the emblem that adorned the 1963 models (lettering actually removed on this car).įord described making the new Thunderbird for 1964 more luxurious by creating a jet-age cockpit up forward with flight-deck panel and instrumentation…. ‘Thunderbird’ was now featured in script on the front fenders behind the front wheels. The front end had a more aggressive look and the hood now featured a new scoop (power dome) on the top. Note too the departure from round taillights to square ones.
This was particularly evident from the rear. This new fourth generation had a more squared off appearance. Check out those taillights with the Thunderbird emblem! This Pagoda Green T-Bird has covered just 68,510 miles in its lifetime and maintains most of its originality.
