THE 1968 THUNDERBIRDS " CALLED THE GLAMOUR BIRDS" WERE BEAUTIFUL
AND VERY POPULAR IN 1968.

ONE FEATURE THAT DEFINES THE GLAMOUR BIRD IS THE TILT AWAY STEERING
WHEEL- THE TOP SECTION OF THE COLUMN THAT BOTH TILTS UPWARD AND
SWINGS AWAY TOWARDS THE CENTER CONSOLE, A COMPLEX AND COSTLY
OPTION PRICED AT $66.14 IN 1968. IT DIFFERS FROM THE EARLIER FORD SWING
AWAY STEERING WHEEL.

ONLY 19% OF THUNDERBIRDS CAME WITH THE 8 TRACK OPTION

THE REAR LAMP MONITOR IS VERY RARE OPTION AND THE OPTIONED TAILLIGHT
MONITOR IS SUPER RARE AS WELL IN THE DASH AREA.

THE 429 V8 THUNDER JET WAS STILL AN OPTION IN THE EARLY YEAR PRODUCTION
RUN FOR 1968. SINCE THIS CAR WAS PRODUCED BEFORE JANUARY 1968 IT IS
SIGNIFICANT IN THAT THE 429 WAS AN OPTION FOR THIS CAR AND NOT STANDARD
AS WERE CARS PRODUCED AFTER JANUARY 1968. THAT MAKES THIS CAR SPECIAL
AS WELL!!

AND STRAIGHT AND VERY CLEAN. HAS BEAUTIFUL SHINE.

INTERIOR COMES IN THE AQUA BUCKET SEATS AND REAR AQUA SEAT WITH
