I never really was a fan of the third generation Thunderbird. I’ve always been biased towards the first gen. I’ve seen them before but never really paid any attention. Not until recently when I looked at them more in automotive magazines and learned more about the styling of the vehicle and actually seeing one driving on the Interstate made me wake up and realize how retro-futuristic and space age it really is! The lines just make it look so streamlined without it being gaudy. I think I now prefer this over the first generation T-birds. Sub Zero.
 
It looks stunning, that dashboard is so simple and beautiful and it is one of the greatest american cruisers i've ever seen.
So yes, that's a SZ for me.
 
I'm a big fan of the Thundercats. Not a generation of a Cougar or Thunderbird I wouldn't love to have. But this. Yew! That front end is amazing, and the covers over the rear wheel wells... Just a really good looking car. SZ for sure.
