1999 Ford Thunderbird

The Thunderbird concept was a modern interpretation of the classic two-seat 1955-57 Thunderbirds convertible. A removable hardtop featured porthole windows, and other styling cues included the huge headlights, hood scoop, and large round taillights. The Lincoln LS 3.9-liter V-8 supplied power with over 250 horsepower, teamed with a five-speed automatic. Ford began manufacturing the 21st century Thunderbird as a 2002 model.
