The Thunderbird began its history in 1955 as a 2 seat convertible. The Thunderbird was designed and styled mostly by Bill Boyer. It had the FE engine, which would be used from 1958, all the way to 1967. The 1961 Thunderbird was the Indy 5 pace car and featured in JFK's inaugural parade.

The Thunderbird was considered a personal luxury vehicle and opened the doors making that a mass market segment. The Bullet Bird, as this  model is known, was produced from 1961 - 1963 and featured new sleeker styling by Bill Boyer.

The 390 cubic inch 6.4 L FE-series V8 was the only engine available in 1961.
