How do you open the hood of a 1960 Ford Thunderbird?

The hood release mechanism on a 1960 Ford Thunderbird is located inside the car, under the dashboard, on the driver's side. It's usually a small lever or knob. You'll need to reach under the dash, possibly feeling around a bit, to locate it. Once found, pull or push the lever/knob to release the hood latch.

After releasing the internal latch, you'll then need to go to the front of the car and lift the hood. There's usually a small lip or handle at the very front of the hood, near the grille, that you can use to help lift it.

Because the location can vary slightly depending on the specific model and any modifications made to the vehicle, a picture of the dash or a consultation of a 1960 Thunderbird owner's manual would be beneficial for pinpoint accuracy.
