Hello Tom - 

--8<--cut 

MM>>> Has Ford re-designed the T-Bird back to it's origins from
MM>>> the 'tank' they made of it in the mid 1970's? 

->> I don't really know but I read a few days ago Ford is
->> dumping the Thunderbird lineup again. 

TW> They did bring bhack the 2 seater Thunderbird. but sales
TW> have been miserable so I can see why it is being
TW> discontinued. Will make it an Instant Collector car fro
TW> those that bought one though. 

I remember when Bill Kennedy managed to persuade FoMoCo to make
new parts for his 195? thunderbird. I was impressed that he had
that much 'juice' with Fords at the time. He certainly did love
that car though. :-) 

TW> And as far as the styling it in NO way could be mistaken
TW> fro the classic 2 seater from 1955, 56, 57. 

I am always saddened when Detroit tries to 'bring back' some
older styling and fails miserably. Proof that the 'style' left
with the retirees and wasn't a 'product' of FoMoCo management.
Some of these are an embarassment (to me).
