60, 66, 61. ย Not to take anything away from the 61, I just like the looks of the others more. ๐Ÿ‘€

I went with the 61, 66, 58.ย  Love the curved lines of the nose on the 61-63 T-Birds.

FOREVER THE SQUARE-BIRD!ย  After 1960, to my eyes the styling went south fast.ย ย

Ditto, but also those spectacular taillights.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

The gorgeous '61 by a country mile over the very nice '60.ย  After '63 the T-Bird design never measured up IMHO.

For me, it's a close call on all three. But, I have a really hard time choosing between the '61 and '66.ย

Tie for me as I can't pick one over another.

If the '61 was a '63 then that would have been my #1 pick.

Iโ€™m going along with Ed and John. To me the 1961 was a major style change which appeals. Nest is the 1966 and lastly 1960.

For me it's '60, '61 and '66 by the narrowest of margins.
