Reciprocity Images Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hi all- Hoping some of you car enthusiasts out there could help me out: I have listed the following pictures as a 1960 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop. This was based on exactly zero actual knowledge plus some research I had done on the internet which indicated the grille had changed between 1960-61(?)... so finally I settled on 1960. Can anyone either confirm my guess, or else shamefully correct my total ignorance on the subject? Thanks in advance! -Jason Front/grille: Here's the rear of same vehicle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 No idea about the car but I would put both years in my mains, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a client inquiring about this image and wishes to confirm the exact model. -Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Of course you're much too honest to tell him what he wants to hear (assuming you know). Have you Googled it? All the '60 results are like yours and all the '61s have changed from eyebrows to the grille-level headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought I'd drop it here to see if anyone could back it up. Thanks for taking the time to double check my google sleuthing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'm sure the time I spend chasing down tricky keywording doesn't pay for itself. Must be a matter of professional pride. What am I like, that's twice I've used that phrase today. Get over myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TABan Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 If the license plate is a vanity plate similar to what most U.S. state allow you to have for extra cost, it could be a clue at to it being a '60. Seem unlikely it would randomly be assigned "TF 60..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 That's German. They don't have vanity plates. Edit; yes they do, if it's unique and unissued. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reciprocity Images Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Yes, as Mark mentioned it is German plates. The L stands for the city of Leipzig where it was registered. But I feel pretty confident now that the 1960 is correct as both 1959 and '61 models do have some definite differences. Thanks both for the responses. -Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
