This vehicle was first owned in Bakersfield, California. Its 25,397 miles are original and are in line with service records and information provided from the previous owner.

The interior appears authentic or OEM replacement with according character one would expect with a largely original car of its age.

It was one of the initial vehicles produced alongside the Lincoln Capri at Ford’s brand-new Wixom Assembly Plant in Wixom, Michigan. The 1958 model-year was the first of the second-generation Thunderbird, spanning 1958 to 1960.
