Built for just five years, the Thunderbird Fordor Landau is a rare species
indeed. Designed for people who loved the Thunderbird's looks, but needed
the convenience of 4 doors. It was a car ahead of its time, the first 4
door personal luxury car.
This 1969 model features Presidential Blue metallic paint with a matching
vinyl roof and black Brougham cloth bucket seat interior. This is the rarest
model and seating configuration for the 1969 model year, with just 1,983
built (12.6% of total production). This is also an unusual color combination,
likely a special order when new, although exceptions were made to the recommended
color schemes when bucket seat interiors were ordered. It is possible the
vinyl roof was originally black and was changed at some point, the seller
may be able to provide more information on this.
Powered by a famous power team, this Bird flies with a 429 Thunder Jet
V-8 engine (360 horses), SelectShift transmission that can be shifted manually
or fully automatic, as you desire, and power front disc/rear drum brakes.
Other standard amenities include automatic parking brake release, full
instrumentation, clock, heater/defroster, concealed headlamps, rear sequential
turn signals, side marker lights, front cornering lights, and more.
In addition to the rare bucket seats and console, this car also has the
optional factory air conditioning, Tilt-Away Steering Wheel, speed control,
6-way power driver's seat, reclining passenger seat (also very rare), power
windows, tinted glass, and more.
These cars are wonderful highway cars with a smooth, stable ride, and they
perform well enough to be driven in today's demanding traffic situations.
We'd love to feature your car in The Showroom.
