“To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Ford Thunderbird, the Ford designing team created the Special Edition Landau in the spring of 1965. Its uniqueness was driven by its special Ember-glo metallic paint and exquisite parchment interior and vinyl top. Special touches included Ember-Glo accents on the interior instrument panel, bucket seat backs and carpeting. To set the car part even more than the regular Thunderbird, Ember-glo was used on the special wheel covers increasing its uniqueness. The Special Edition Landau is written up on Automotive Milestones website, here is a link to learn more about this uniquely beautiful Thunderbird. http://automotivemileposts.com/tbird1965speciallandau.html

The exhaust system was renewed prior to my buying the car and it is in excellent condition as are the radial white wall tires. The radio has been changed to a digital AM/FM radio.
The car has been clayed a couple of times to rid it of normal contamination from the outside and while in my garage. It has protective sealant to protect the paint from acid rain, tree sap, and bird droppings, I have also applied a ceramic wax by Nano and the best Maquires Ultimate paste wax.
The work that has been done on this car by myself and professional mechanics is, new shock absorbers all around, new upper tie rod ends with upper ball joints, plus I replaced the steering box and the power steering hoses were remanufactured for a no leak renewal. After all the front-end work was done the car went to a wheel alignment specialist in West Palm Beach. The brakes have all been replaced and with best materials available. All new spark plug wires were replaced as were the spark plugs, the carburetor has been adjusted for the automatic choke to work efficiently. I have replaced the ac compressor, clutch and the ac receiver dryer for a great cool driving experience to be enjoyed in the hot summer months in SE FL.Under the hood insulation has been replaced with new padding and the engine area has been painted and detailed. Please look at the pictures that show this unique vehicle’s pride of ownership and long lasting beauty.
