On "My Car Story" we're at the Carlisle Events in Carlisle PA on 7-10-21.
We're looking at a 1967 Ford Thunderbird 2 Door with Landau Roof in White Paint. The car comes with the factory 428 CI V8 engine.
The car's Owner is Chris Ceresa. Chris has had this car since 2017. He shares he’s a Chevy Guy however he had Thunderbirds before, and when he saw this one with less than 19K original miles on it, and in perfect condition, he had to have it. This car is an original condition survivor and has not been restored, and it looks showroom new.

That may be one of the most beautifully preserved cars I’ve ever seen. What a gorgeous car. American cars at their finest.

these T-Birds used to be advertised on the back cover of the old National Geographic when I was a kid, my Dad had a subscription, the cars were always shown with sleek backdrops, like Palm Springs or Hollywood with well dressed people hanging around the cars. When I was a kid I always imagined only rich people could afford them, most of the interiors had sort of a space age theme, with tambour door consoles brushed stainless steel trim, the swing a way steering wheel, and flamboyant interior colours and bucket seats. Always thought they were aspirational cars!

13:07 one finger steering. Love it.

The side windows retracting back instead of down is funky. Very chic.
-
This Thunderbird is so totally gorgeous, and the video is sooo great that I actually had to watch it twice!
-
I know it was sacrilege in some people's eyes, but I just love the 4-door model of this car with the suicide doors. So cool.

In January of 1968, my late, beloved father surprised the entire family (he was an engineer...never did anything that wasn't completely thought out, hence it was out of character) by bringing home a brand new 68 TBird two-door for my mom's birthday. It was Wimbledon White (no vinyl top thank God...the coupes were so much slicker without the landaus), with white interior and black carpeting and dash (with wood inserts). He bought it loaded (they still offered the 390 at the beginning of the model year, which he probably would have bought, but when he ordered it, only the new 429 was available). It was fairly loaded with cruise, 8 track stereo, power windows. My mom was blown away and we loved that car. The 429 was a brute...endless torque. Six months after that, my dad was so enamored of the car, he bought a used '67 4 door landau 'Bird with the 428 engine for himself. It was Brittany Blue with a dark blue landau top. Suddenly in six months we went from a 59 Ford Galaxie and a 66 Ford Galaxie to two Birds. We thought we were millionaires. They drove them for years, and I was so nuts about them, being in my teens, I took over all maintenance and became our master car detailer. They were always showroom. The side by side of the two engines was interesting. The 428 was more refined, turbine smooth, very quiet, not as fast. The 429 would pull a house off its foundations and spent most of its life in high gear...the torque was so massive the thing never downshifted. Great cars...I miss them. One error on this video: the owner said 1967 was the first year with the cruise control buttons in the steering wheel....actually it was 1966 when Ford began offering that option.

That brochure tells us so much about marketing in the 1960's: Class, luxury, romance, Avant Garde artistry. Just about everything that would appeal to young lovers. What a wonderful piece of nostalgia.
-
My goodness! A survivor with a perfectly intact landau roof! And the interior styling looks fantastic with its trim & the tilt a way wheel. Thanks for sharing Chris & his T bird, Lou!

What an exceptional automobile. As you point out, this was one of Ford's finest moments. When you think that this was made in 1967, it was really advanced for its time. Further, that T-bird looks like it just rolled off the factory floor. Chris, thanks for sharing your fine automobile with us. Lou, another great segment. Every week you seem to find another treasure for your viewers. Thanks.

That is one of the most beautiful designs in Thunderbird history. It really gave meaning to the term "personal luxury car."
-
Class of the 60's classiest car. I'm a gm guy but this car is in a class by itself.
-
Tickle me pink Lou...you just keep coming up with gems!
-
What a sleek car - wow!
-
Imagine owning this car in 1967.......you would have been the cool guy in town....thanks Lou.

Yeah the new Lincolns have the "Eco-boost". This T-Bird has the "Ego-boost" engine. Man if I had that car being my age, I would take it on nice long vacations. I would not care if I put miles on it. I would enjoy it, love it, take good care of it, but yes, I would drive it. (not to work or the grocery store, but for pleasure and long trips). Highway driving does not wear out a car like city driving does.
