SelectAire Conditioner combined heating and cooling in one unit. Capacity was said to be sufficient to cool an average five-room house! MagicAire Heater-Defroster was also available separately, without air conditioner. (MagicAire Heater mandatory with SelectAire; priced separately.) This would be the last year that Thunderbird would come equipped in standard form without the MagicAire heater, since the vast majority were equipped with this item anyway.
Two knobs moounted on the lower instrument panel adjacent to each side of console opened vents under the instrument panel to provide cooled air to the front floor area when desired. These vents were only provided with SelectAire installations.
Power-Lift Windows move effortlessly, smoothly. Driver's master control panel (shown) has lock button to prevent passengers from operating windows. The buttons, from left to right, control the driver's door window, passenger door window, left rear quarter window, right rear quarter window, and on the far right, the window lock button, which when pushed upward, locks in place and prevents all individual window controls from operating. Some mistakenly believe this lock control to be a power door lock, an option which wasn't offered on the Thunderbird until 1963. The model in the photo is about to lower the passenger door window.
Thunderbird's fully transistorized push button radio is the finest in the industry! Five preset push buttons, and eight-watt output provide high fidelity and rich tone. This item would become standard equipment for 1963.
A touch of the four-way toggle switch moves the seat up, down, backward, or forward. As the seat moves, the angle is automatically adjusted as well. Choose power for the driver's seat only, or both front bucket seats can be power operated. Controls are placed on the outboard side of the seat.
