Black with red interior and red convertible top is a striking color combo.\nWhile I am not real up to speed on older T Birds, it seems the the early to mid 60s models have become more desirable than the early 1955-57s. Styling on the early 60s T Birds is unique. It reminds me of contemporary/modern houses, which largely fell out of style from about 1985-2015 and now is \u201cgroovy\u201d and \u201chip.\u201d IMO these T Birds are some of the coolest-looking US cars ever built. Examples like this should appreciate nicely over time.
