I like square as opposed to the rocket look, 1960 please.

Last of the square birds or beginning of the new era? John, you diabolical genius! By the slimmest of margins, I voted '60.

I never liked the 58-60 Birds. Probably because they went away from the 2 seater. So my pick is the 61 which has sleek lines.

I like both but am prejudiced toward the bullet bird. 1961 for me.

Me too, but for 62 & 63.

I love the design of the '61 to '63 T-Bird and prefer it to the earlier look.

They are both beautiful Thunderbird automobiles ! Ford Thunderbird, in a sense, went from 2 to 4 to 6 and back to 2 passengers in it's long run.

Definitely the 1961. I love the bullet birds, especially the tail.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I'll forever be a "square" when it comes to T-Birds. That "Rocket" shaped version just never caught on with me.

Not my favourite Thunderbirds but I do have a slight preference for the 1961.

The Gen III T-bird is nice, but I prefer the formal look of the Gen II.
