1957Birdman Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 This in one rare Bird by virtue of the factory sunroof. This was a one year only option for 1960 and was pretty much a sales flop. If you look closely at the windshield there is trim above it that I believe was put there to control the wind coming over the top and into the car. A bit odd that they didn't take the pictures with the wheel covers installed. Looks to be in pretty nice shape overall.

EmTee Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 FWIW, I haven't seen this one at any of the cruise-ins I have attended. With the sunroof as a distinguishing feature, I'm surprised they didn't provide a picture showing it off... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I can't recall ever seeing one of these in the past. That roof trim doesn't really add to the looks of the car and may be the reason for not having seen one. Anyone know what the sales numbers were for the T-bird's with this option?

TexRiv_63 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 How did the sunroof operate - with a hand crank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twist it half a turn and the rear of the insert is lowered below the roof. Then slide it back and twist the handle to lock it in place. Want it open at any other point? Stop sliding and twist the knob to hold it at that position. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
