@Sam-Blockhan Set the Wayback machine for 1983. These T-birds were a revolution. Consider the last generation:

Big-car styling doesn't translate to smaller car.

Everyone remembers the Taurus as the first jellybean domestic, but the T-bird did it first.

@Old-Busted-Hotness I'm actually a big fan of the boxybird.

@Sam-Blockhan If you ever see one in person, you'll see how badly proportioned it is. But that's not real likely.

Needs moar wheelbase.

They sold about 100,000 of these each year (short run, '80-82), but the aero birds outsold them 3:1.

@Sam-Blockhan One of my favorite Thunderbird gens. Basically a Mustang but better in every way. And nowadays they're cheaper too!
