 New opening for Bird lovers. New 3-Door, 5-Door Birds for '69. Touch a button, and Thunderbird gives you the sky. There were fewer than 900 Thunderbird Tudor Landaus equipped with this option in 1969, and even fewer Fordor Landaus were so equipped...and they say that 1960 Thunderbird Sun Roof Hardtops are rare! |

 Front Cornering Lights cast a steady beam of light to the side when corresponding turn signal is activated. Amber colored front side marker light is lit when the parking or headlights are on, and is located to the rear of the cornering light housing. A stainless plate with a Thunderbird emblem cover the cornering light opening if not equipped with this option. |

 Extra touches ease your flight... Tilt-Away Steering Wheel automatically moves aside for easier entry and exit, tilts to nine different positions. Introduced in 1967 as a standard feature, it was made optional in 1968. This would be the final year for this option. |

 Rear Lamp Monitor, mounted on rear package tray, tells driver at a glance if all tail lamps are functioning properly. If a bulb is out, monitor pinpoints exactly which one! Driver views monitor through rear view mirror. This option is rarely seen, and was only available for the 1968 and 1969 model years. |
||
 Reclining Passenger Seat option was available for all seating arrangements, and all trims. A button on the outboard side of the seat activates an electric solenoid in the seat back. Internal springs return the seat to upright position when passenger leans forward. |

This body style with bucket seats is the rarest configuration of all 1969 Thunderbirds. |
