I’d love to see a 2-seater, but I got to believe making a business case for a 2-seater would be difficult. I wonder if the market for the T-Bird has come and gone. Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t see young folks buying that. But IMO thunderbird doesn’t resonate with new car buyers. I’m all for using names that have a history and meaning. Briefly, for one weekend, I was the coolest kid on the block. This car, especially with the top down, was a sensation.
Even the few GM and Chrysler engineers in the area came by for a look.
EVERYBODY on the block came by for a look and for a test drive. Back in the summer of 1957, he brought home a two-seat T-Bird for the weekend. He was given a “company car” to drive back-and-forth to work in. I lived in Dearborn when I was a kid and my dad was a engineer who worked at Ford. It was that vibe that SOLD that original 300 reboot, to be sure - IMHO. Having NOT lived through the 1st Gen 'Birds, I picked the Squarebirds as the inspiration, due to the noticeable bada** vibe they put out - ala' the Gangsta' vibe that the Chrysler 300 reboot initially purveyed. 😉īut the last 2-seat model kind of had that early 60's streamlined vibe, mixed with the '55-57 footprint, so that would kind of be a "been there, done that" approach. Fair enough on which 4-seat model to emulate - beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
