1965 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau Show Car - AllCarIndex

Crowds milling through the Ford exhibit during the 1965 Chicago Auto Show didn’t know that the roof design on the Thunderbird Town Landau show car was a preview of a new feature coming on the 1966 T-Birds. Though it looked sexy, the board B-pillar completely eliminated rear quarter windows and created a wide rearward blind spot. The Town Landau concept also featured European-styled rectangular headlights and a custom grille. Inside the experimental T-bird cabin, the driver faced prototype ‘wrist-twist” hand grips instead of a conventional steering wheel.
