1964 Ford Thunderbird

For 1964 the Thunderbird was restyled in favor of a more squared-off, "formal" look. The car also had the unique Swing-Away Steering Wheel. Swing-Away used a special steering column that was movable to the right about 10.5 inches to allow for easier entry and exit for the driver, especially with a purse, briefcase, or packages. Despite its popularity on the Thunderbird, this did not carry over to the other Fords, and cars with this option are somewhat rare.
