A Bite of History: 1960 Ford Sunliner
by Mike Thies
The 1960 Ford Sunliner was the soft-top star of Ford’s full-size lineup, blending postwar flair with early-'60s sleekness. As part of the B series, the Sunliner rode the wave of chrome, fins, and V8 power that defined the era’s boulevard cruisers.
With a wide grille, modest tailfins, and a power-operated convertible top, it offered style in spades. Under the hood, buyers could opt for anything from a thrifty inline-six to the potent 352-cubic-inch V8, giving it both presence and performance.
