Technical Ford Thunderbird 1957 ? >

Get in and drive it first. I am 5' 11" and I barely fit in mine. Mine is an automatic, if it was a stick I could not drive it comfortably. If you have some weight on you, or are taller, you may not be able to drive it.

 

It should go I’m quite small and thin!

 

Move the seat back and/or adjust the steering column. I'm 6' 2", 220 lbs and always fit quite comfortably.

 

My seat is back as far as it will go, and the steering wheel is as far forward as it goes. I guess it may depend where you have your height, in your legs or in your upper body.

 

They sell steering wheels in 15"! It can help too..

I’ll do it because I don’t like big steering wheels!

 

If you have power steering it works. Manual steering it just makes it harder.

 

It's true... but there’s power steering on the model I’m going to see.
