Model history

The Ford Thunderbird, introduced in 1955 as a sporty two-seater, competed with the Corvette. In the 1960s, it grew into a comfortable four-seater. The 1980s and 1990s brought changes in design and performance, while the last generation introduced in 2002 was a tribute to the original version. In the 1970s, there was a larger, heavier version. Each generation had its specific characteristics and contributed to the history of this iconic American car.
