A lower pan, painted body color, contained the backup lights. The rear end was the best design element, set off by two oblong taillights surrounded by protective bumpers. The quad headlamps were moved to the extreme edge of the fenders, where they cut into the face of the car in canted oval cutouts. The pointed profile was still evident, but from front or rear it was completely altered. In detail, the 1964 retained a family resemblance to the 1963 but was obviously new. The turn signals of the 1964 were intended to be sequential, but Ford ran into trouble with certain state regulations and was forced to wait a year while applying for the necessary permissions.

The 64 Thunderbird was the only Thunderbird to have the word 'Thunderbird' on the front hood instead of the image of the Thunderbird. Dual headlights, a low-placed sweeping grille with horizontal bars stretching from end to end, deeply sculptured sides were new as were the large rectangular taillights replacing the round ones of the third generation.
The fourth generation Thunderbirds were built from 1964-66, nicknamed the 'Jet Birds', although pretty much unchanged underneath, the shape was restyled with a more squared off sharp look. Description 1964 Ford Thunderbird Convertible (25193281232).jpg
