O/T Went to the Dark Side
Non-Corvette (although) it fits under my lift like one. A bit of an early Valentine's Day gift for wifey - yeah its a Ford and she's looked at these things for 10 years and wanted another convertible after I sold the '61. So this followed me home yesterday...
A 2002 red Thunderbird Deluxe with both tops, 18,000 pristine miles and the price was pretty ridiculous....
Its a 10 in all categories and like showroom condition...

OMG Frank...... Those are flat out, hands down, the ugliest cars that ANY US manufacturer EVER produced (including Edsel). Sorry, I'm NOT on the dark side with one of "those things"
BTW, the inside looks like a "circus"

Hi Frankie,
We have very similar taste: I have a TBird too, a 2003 that sits along my red 64 coupe. By the way: incredible how silent the TBird engine is.

I knew you’d just love it Mike. But let’s remember. It’s not MY car. Ha!

I really like how they look (sorry MikeC), AND how they drive. . Mine is all black inside with brushed aluminium add on console finish, outside dark grey metal paint. Wonderfull cruiser.

I bet there is an inside joke there. I thought maybe Frank put in an LS motor and 17” wheels. Looks nice. Hope the wife enjoys it.

My wife had two of the Lincoln LS’. Pretty impressive for a Ford product. I just think Ford ripped their drawers when they made this thing - sad attempt to bring back a “retro look”. I was hoping for more of a “ baby bird look “.

Is that a bang your head pad on the bottom of the lift?

But, that's why God invented paper bags, so you can be the unknown passenger.

Whether intended or not the multiple symbolic interpretations of this photo are demeaning, ...for Ford. Frank, here is hoping you don't have a Freudian slip and forget to remove the Ford prior to enjoying the 63 SWC, this would reveal a lowering opinion on the T-Bird
