In this episode I provide the history of the Ford Thunderbird, starting with being a Corvette competitor in 1955, but later growing to land yacht size in the 70's, and eventually fading to obscurity by 1997. A retro roadster revival was also attempted in 2002 which only lasted 4 years.

If you once owned a car from the 80's to mid-2000's that you rarely see today, and would like to see it featured in a future episode, leave a reply in the comments, or contact me at [email protected].
