Description The Landau was the top-of-the-line Thunderbird, reaching across the gap towards the Lincoln lineup, bringing luxury and comfort to the Thunderbird party. Sure, it was still sporty personal transportation, but with the new look came a newfound focus on luxury. Included with the package, of course, was the padded roof with landau bars, a styling element borrowed from coach-built pre-war cars. You can’t go wrong with black either, and code A Raven Black is this cars’ original color. The paint is showing signs of wear and age. This was also a time when cars where still assembled with care and pride, which shows in the details here, from the ornate front bumper and grille assembly in original condition and needing a little attention, to the stainless trim along the tops of the fenders, to the clearly jet-inspired taillights and rear bumper. It’s handsome and stately without being flashy, which was exactly the intention of the original stylists. If you aren’t convinced that the 60’s were the pinnacle of the clean, elegant interior styling, then you haven’t been paying attention. The bright stainless and chrome details, particularly the wrap-around bright work that extends into the doors, combine with the carefully textured accents on the center console to give it the look of high-end furniture, not just a transportation appliance. Even the steering wheel is an intricate combination of materials and shapes. Everyone knows that horsepower sells, and as the Thunderbird grew, so did their engines. By 1962, it was a 390 cubic inch making 300 horsepower in Z-code trim, as in this Landau. I suggest anyone viewing this car to inspect it or have it inspected prior to bidding. We are human and make mistakes. This is a vintage automobile and we tried to take as many detailed pictures as possible and give as many details as possible. It is in original condition and would make a great project car. It runs and the interior is in good condition. The exterior needs painted. There is some leaking here and there and as far as we can see there is no rust, but even California cars have a rust issue, so please be informed and have any car inspected. We cannot be responsible to cover everything. ASK AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO SEND MORE PICTURES. REMEMBER ... THIS IS AN ALL ORIGINAL CAR !!!
