Fifty Years - Thunderbird. For five decades, the Ford
Thunderbird has been a car that has taken America on a
wonderful ride through the changes of its time. From the sporty
classic two-seater that people still go nuts for over half
a century after it was first built, to the retro reincarnation
of today and everything in between from sleek convertibles
and suicide-doors sedans to supercharged coupes, the T-bird
has been an enthusiast's car for all seasons. Thunderbird:
50 Years takes a look at the golden history of every generation
of this American classic, and details the development and
evolution of one of Ford's best-known models year-by-year,
in text and 200 photographs. Chapter by chapter, each
generation of the T-bird is placed within the context of its
time to help illustrate why the car evolved as it did. From
the ever-desirable finned two-seater's of the 1950s, stylish
and sporty convertibles of the late 1950s and early 1960s,
suicide-door cruisers of the late 1960s, land yachts of the
1970s, aerodynamic turbo- and supercharged coupes of the 1980s
and 1990s, and today's retro-influenced reincarnations, all
are covered from an enthusiast's viewpoint. Learn what's rare
and desirable in the lists of options, colors and production
figures. See examples of the most desirable and collectible
