The Safety-Convenience Control Panel was standard in the Town models for 1966, but optional in 1967. In 1965, rear fender shields appear to have been standard for a period of time, but they became optional again during the year and continued to be an option in 1966. Over the years, the standard equipment list grew, although a few items were added, then deleted. In 1963, an AM radio and the heater-defroster were made standard, again because most Thunderbird customers wanted these items. The Swing-Away Steering Wheel, optional in 1961, was made standard early in the 1962 production year because 77 percent of the 1961 models sold had it. Same for power steering (97 percent), and power brakes (89 percent). It just didn't make since to provide manual transmissions when 98 percent of the customer orders for Thunderbirds in 1960 were for cars with automatics. This was based on customer orders from previous years. For instance, in 1961, Ford added automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and backup lights to the standard features on all Thunderbirds. From the very beginning, Ford added new features to the cars, and updated standard equipment based on customer orders. Thunderbirds have always been well-equipped cars. **ORIGINAL PAINT AND 53K ORIGINAL MILES RARE FACTORY MOONROOF **
