About Thunderbirds
During the early 1950s, vehicular option was inadequate as compared to the 21st century. There were coupes, convertibles, sedans, and station wagons. Local manufacturers did not produce subcompacts, compacts, and sports cars; SUVs were never heard of until Ford introduced the first Thunderbird in 1955.The first Thunderbird provided sophistication and style that used to be offered only by luxurious imports like Jaguar and Mercedez-Benz at a practical price tag of a Ford. However, the first two-seater T-bird did lack room for two more passengers. It took flight when that room was finally added. Then 40 years later, the T-bird was flattened down by the tires of the SUV trend and went back to being a two-seater.
