Even though it was the last year of the generation, 1966 saw a stylistic revision for the Thunderbird highlighted by a new egg-crate style grille with a large Thunderbird emblem at its center and a new rear fascia with the brake lights restyled to appear as one unit. Engine choices were also revised for 1966. The base version of the 390 cu in V8 lost 25 horsepower due to the use of a two-barrel carburetor in place of the previously equipped four-barrel carburetor. The optional version of the 390 cu in V8, now equipped with a single four-barrel carburetor instead of two, produced 315 horsepower. 1966 was the first time the model name "Town Landau" was used. It was also used in the years 1977-1982 for Thunderbirds with distinguishing trim and luxury features. That's a perfect way to describe this '66 Thunderbird. Loaded with options, the car has benefited from a very tasteful restoration that included new paint, interior and making everything under the hood look better then new. Options include dual power seats, cruise control, A/C, power locks, power windows and power antenna.The car you see here is a 3 owner, 72,000 original mile '66 Thunderbird Landeau that is in wonderful, original condition.
