The famous Ford Thunderbird nameplate has been around
since 1955. The early T-birds are classic, highly
collectible automobiles and icons of that period
of American history. Like most American cars in
the sixties, the T-Bird grew in size and then got
smaller again following the early seventies oil
crisis. The last generation T-Bird came out in 1989
and lasted through '97 model year. Although there's
a link to NASCAR racing, and the super-charged SC
(Super Coupe) version is certainly a quick machine,
the T-Bird is at heart a mid-sized American touring
coupe.
With
room for five, drive to the rear wheels, and an
independent rear suspension, the T-Bird is a comfortable
highway cruiser that loves the long drive. The good-looking,
nicely proportioned and mildly re-designed '94 T-Bird
had a new hood, headlamps and the front and rear
fascias. The interior makeover was more extensive
and the new wrap-around dash included cup-holders
and air bags for both the driver and front passenger.
This safety upgrade also improved the already-good
crash test rating on the T-Bird to the ultimate
five-star status.
