About 2003 Ford Thunderbird

The Ford Thunderbird is a weekend cruiser. Drop the top for a great canyon drive with the retro look and feel, but all the modern requirements of a nice reliable car. This vehicle is the perfect pleasure car without breaking the bank!

Great retro styling, but not too retro like the PT Cruser. Real metal trim on the interior and comfortable, yet firm seats. Very nimble handling, although response is limited. Great performance and great sound. Overall a great luxury sports car. I'ts a shame they didn't sell well.
