Ford produced them on their third generation vehicles in model years. 1962 and 1963. A very. very limited number were completed in 1964 on the heavily revised fourth generation platform believed to have only built 50 units this is an true example of that limited series. The Sports Roadster included 48-spoke Kelsey Hayes-designed wire wheels and a special fiberglass tonneau cover for the rear seats which gave the car the appearance of a two-seat roadster reminiscent of original Thunderbird. The Sports Roadster package while immensely beautiful was slow-selling due the extremely high price of the package. Ford's records provide the following information only 1427 made in ’62. only 455 made in ’63 and a mere 50 made in ’64. The 1962 and 1963 Sports Roadsters were identified by unique VIN numbers. but the limited number of 1964 versions were not. The optioned 1964 vehicles were either factory ordered or dealer installed. Factory optioned 1964 thunderbirds came with the tonneau cover. 14” Kelsey Hayes wire wheels and a fender skirt delete package. Dealer installed cars came with the tonneau cover but with fender skirts and 15” steel wheels. wheel covers with knock-off hubs (spinners) because the original Kelsey Hayes wire wheels interfered with the fender skirts.
