SelectAire Conditioner outlets and control panel
SelectAire Conditioner combined heating and cooling in one unit. Capacity sufficient to cool an average five-room house! MagicAire Heater-Defroster also available separately, without air conditioner. This would be the last year for Thunderbird to come equipped in standard form without MagicAire.
Power-Lift Windows master controls
Power-Lift Windows move effortlessly, smoothly. Driver's master control panel (shown) has lock button to prevent passengers from operating windows. The model in the photo is about to lower the passenger door window.
Pushbutton Radio
Thunderbird's fully transistorized push button radio is the finest in the industry! Five preset push buttons, and eight-watt output provide high fidelity and rich tone. This item would become standard equipment for 1963.
Power Seat
A touch of the four-way toggle switch moves the seat up, down, back, or forward. Controls are placed on the outboard side of the seat. Choose driver's seat only, or both front bucket seats can be power operated.
