This generation is beautiful and still nice today. Ten years later they did the ugliest 50's version. Somebody can explain to me,that I'm italian and not american, why they changed everything making an ugliest 50's design car instead to develop the modern design of this one throug the years thx
One of the best cars of it's era. Reportedly upper management was unhappy with it, they wanted something lighter and more generic. I'm glad those idiots didn't get what they wanted.
The designers went against the grain with the traditional long wheelbase and RWD, combined with a modern independent suspension. This made it a great cruiser, quite unique vs the typical FWD cars everybody else was making. I love how smooth these cars are, and they handle amazingly well on twisty roads near here.
Look good, but the headlights remind me of old Accords. RWD for a coupeis pretty damn awesome. Think I'd prefer my Aussie EF Falcon though. -thumbs up-
all true, ive had 3 thunderbird,89 90 94. the 94 4.6 that i have now is awesome, 307 whp dyno proven. nothing can beat it handling wise and it holds it own in the straight. love the MN12. ford should never stopped making them
Hard to believe that the T-Bird was originally designed to compete with the Corvette. Somewhere in the early 60's, the two cars went two completely different directions.
SC was ridiculously expensive for the time. Especially considering a few years later they dropped the 225hp V8 in it that performed just as well as the SC.
In 91 5.0 tbird only had 200hp and had a 9.2 0-60 when the SC auto had a 0-60 of 7.2 and the 5 speeds where even faster. Those stock 5.0's arent too fast the 4.6's are faster then the 5.0's stock

Because car manufactures were going "retro". Examples: the *new* Beetle, PT Cruiser, Prowler, Chevy SSR,etc.
If Ford ever brings back the Thunderbird, you can bet they wont do the same mistake.

My 1990 T-Bird SC went 289000 miles before a guy ran a stop sign and totaled me out. I would probably still be driving it otherwise.

Think about it. I'd drive a 1990 T-B with 0 miles over any Honda, Toyota that's out today

The original TBird (1955-57) was designed as a cruiser and not a sports car like the Vette. They were designed for completely different buyers.

One of my dream cars back then was in fact an SC, but sadly it was out of my budget.
