Vehicle Overview
This fourth-generation "Flair Bird" is an exceptionally preserved example of Ford’s 1960s personal luxury flagship. Built at the Wixom, Michigan plant on January 10, 1964, it remains in highly original condition, showcasing a rare color palette that captures the mid-century modern aesthetic.
Exterior & Originality
The exterior is finished in its factory-correct Pea Green/Yellow hue (identified as Florentine or Pagoda Green), a color known for its shifting tones in different lighting [User Description].

Swing-Away Steering Wheel for ease of entry.
Floating-line speedometer and four distinct gauge pods.
Wrap-around rear "lounge" seating and full-length center console.
