This car was very advanced for its time.. and totally against
what was going on...it was a rear wheel drive sedan in the time that
everyone wanted to go FWD. It had Independent Rear Suspension , Auto Ride
Control , ABS brakes , a supercharged intercooled fuel injected engine....all
this in 1989.This car was designed to be among BMW and so.... too bad ford
quality wasn't up to the task.. although the Thunderbird SC was better in every
performance aspect against BMW.... the exterior was ahead of its time.... but
the interior although a very good concept and very comfortable it was a
bad joke between a BMW and a Mustang....
But this is a great car power everything great handling and
enough power to outrun most cars on the road, cop don't give a second look ,
great sleeper still looks elegant and kind of newer ; mine is 90 and most people
think its a 95-94 .

This is not transportation...
this is a love affair. This is the car you never let near the car wash. This is
the car you tip the parking attendant so you can park it yourself...a car that
turns heads as quickly as corners. This is a car you write a new license plate
for. This is a Thunderbird...so sensuous, so intimate, so thrilling...you'll
take the long way home
