That Ford is not a thunderbird. It is a 1958 custom two door sedan, the same year that the square bird came out so that it looks a bit like a 58 through 60 Thunderbird.

Go to the website link and there is a T-Bird there.

These Thunderbirds were interesting race cars. They were built and prepared by an outfit called T-Bird Power Products, which was a division of Holman Moody set up in part to keep the company afloat until Ford officially reentered racing after the AMA ban. They were available with MEL 430 CID engines and as the photos show, they were built as "zippertops." The hardtop roofs were constructed so they could be quickly unbolted, allowing the cars to be raced in either the Grand National or Convertible divisions. In the story there are photos showing the cars both ways.
