I agree.
I wonder if the market for the T-Bird has come and gone. I’d love to see a 2-seater, but I got to believe making a business case for a 2-seater would be difficult. As for a 4-seater, you stick four doors on it, and you have another sedan which, seemingly, fewer and fewer buyers want every year. And a 2-door coupe? That would be my choice, but they’d sell even less.
But I hate to see the Thunderbird name die. Such a rich nameplate, with great memories for those who grew up in the 50’s and 60’s. The original ’55-’57 2-seater, the ’58-’60 Squarebirds, the ’61-’63 Bullet Birds, the ’64-’66 Flair Birds, and the ’67-’69 Glamour Birds, all featured expressive, unique styling. By the 70’s, the T-Bird lost its identity and unique styling, and became nothing more than one more big Ford.
