I Personally Love the Four Seat Birds. I've Owned 8 In My Lifetime. From 64, 66, 84, 87, 89, and Including My Current 97. I Wish Ford Would Make The New Thunderbird On a Slightly Stretched Mustang Chassis Like the Fox Birds Were and Give it an Independent Rear Suspension, with a Retractable Hardtop Convertible as an Option. This Would In Turn Allow Lincoln to Resurrect the Mark Series, Unlike Everything they are sticking the Mark Name On Now.
