Even your grampa who drove the original would be impressed. It was over fifty years ago when Ford first came out with the Thunderbird. Going back six decades, while less car types were made, the masses still purchased this car in bulk. Today, we have plenty of new car options, and people still in masses.
This version of the Thunderbird started life in 2002. Ford read the tea-leaves and brought back the retro style of the Ford Thunderbird. The car’s birth roots to it’s 50’s version is unmistakable. All reviewers went ga-ga over the one-of-a-kind porthole windows. The Ford Thunderbird sold the most in the first year of production, and then fell down each year after. This car made in only four years before Ford decided to stop production. {This was always a great car, as long as you have a windscreen to tame the wind while driving top-down}.
This car was build on a shorter version of the rear wheel drive platform provided for the Lincoln LS and Jaguar S-Type sedans. Under the hood, the only option for power was the 3.9 liter, V8, which was also shared with the LS. For the simple minded, the Ford Thunderbird came with only one transmission option, a five speed manual or automatic. Ford was generous with the standard equipment, including four-wheel disc brakes, side airbags, and catching 17-inch alloy wheels. If you’re in the mood to splurge, then you can get the fancy chrome wheels and traction control. One of the other needed accessories is a Thunderbird windscreen (windblocker or wind deflector), or see convertible windscreen reviews for more options. This new version of the Thunderbird also carries plenty of passenger room, as well as space in the trunk, which is a delightful change from usual roadsters. With performance, well, you won’t be breaking any speed of acceleration records.
For those looking for a used Ford Thunderbird, they have lots of choices in terms of configuration, powertrains, and body stylings. Those who like a little extra spunk in their car seek more power, while traditionalists go for comfort in a stiffer chassis.
