A note to the attention to build details are on the b pillars with stitched square panels within the vinyl, just a nice extra 60's touch with some texture. A leather grained vinyl headliner is seen, and it sports a central console including various warning lights on the ceiling aluminum ribbed upper console. Blue carpet floods the floors and is overall good condition. A total midcentury design approach with the vent styling to the knobs and levers all space aged out and plenty of chromed plastic trim. On the dash 4 planetary style round gauges front the horizontal bar speedometer. The rear bench has an interesting curvature to it and a center padded armrest area. Sage blue vinyl covered buckets with square stitched inserts in the seats, some stripes for the upper backs, shiny smooth bolsters flank a futuristic styled console glove box and power window switches.
Inside, the Town Landau has the same standard equipment and features as the Town Hardtop, with the exception of the door and roof consoles having a simulated wood grain appearance, as does the steering wheel (without speed control). Standard T bird styled, and badged wheel covers are seen on all 4 corners. The back with its jet age styling and a taillight that runs the length of the back of this beauty has a shiny bumper below. All badging is present and accounted for. The Levant grained roof is in good condition and presents in black. Surface and invasive rust is noted on the rockers, where most of the cracking is occurring.
Seen on the driver's rear quarter and the passenger's rear of the door panel as well as the rockers is some underlying rust bubbling through the paint, and a few cracks in the paint. The headlight and grille are somewhat reminiscent of the Mustang with their coves and shape as it forms to the grille. From the dual headlights to the clamshell egg crate grille and hood intersection, the wrap around bumper all is presenting in fair condition. Getting more streamlined, we note less accoutrements and worthless adornments and more clean simple lines.
