The two-tone has a high-gloss finish that looks terrific in the sunshine and just seems to know how to draw added attention to the quality of the body panels. And quality seems to be the right word for this one right down to the details, like the correct wheel covers, bright whitewalls, two-tone on the spare wheel cover, and bumpers that shine like new. Plus, the awesome retractable hardtop has a smooth action as it disappears into the trunk to give you both the look of a pillarless coupe or disappear completely to have a great-looking convertible.

The interior continues the cool green style. In fact, the seats look terrific because those clear covers have sealed in the detailed upholstery. So if the preservation started early in life, we can even suspect this is original to the car. There are more great details, like the Ford family crest in the center of the steering wheel, the same logo repeated on the new green floor mats, the AM radio there for display, and even the working courtesy light. The trunk even looks great with the correct mat and cubby box that tells you where it's safe to put your luggage when the top is stowed. But your favorite feature is likely going to be the rare power windows option. It means you have one of the few Skyliners where you can go from fully enclosed to fully open without ever leaving the driver's seat.

This is a D-code convertible, which means it came with the optional "Thunderbird Special" 312 cubic-inch V8. It looks thoroughly correct with the bold red block, large air topper, and valve covers that proudly announce this powerful option. It even inhales correctly through a Holley four-barrel carburetor. The V8 fires up nicely, and the dual exhaust gives it a nice dignified sound. As a true cruising convertible, there's an automatic transmission, power steering, and new tires.
