I'd like to see Quickdraw put this thread back on track with more of his "Random Useless Facts". They are a lot more interesting then the comments.

Martin, I don't think Canada was restricted from ordering anything - it was up to the customer or dealer to order whatever they wanted. Here is the breakdown of Canadian spec cars.

No, it means like the Inca Gold, no one ordered it....

Mike, OK then, I'm working on something for you...

Re: Random useless facts about 2002-2005 Thunderbirds

Another way to determine color popularity might be how may days a certain color sat on the dealers lot before it was sold. To determine this I only counted cars ordered by the dealer for "Stock"... the following table does not include customer ordered cars, fleet cars, lease plans, A-plan, test vehicles, etc. Approximately one-third of the 2002 Model year production was for "Dealer Stock" - I have a 2002 Thunderbird blue but these results were surprising to me - it doesn't seem to make sense they would sell nearly a month faster than other colors but there it is.... The number of each color dealers ordered for stock and included in these calculations; black=3593, Blue=3474, Red=3116, White=2081, and Yellow=1464.

EDIT: This is the screen shot from Dot, (who saved the day) by recovering scrambled data - this is a work in progress and will take time> However, were not for Dot it would be lost forever as it is too time consuming for me to redo it from scratch.

I'll do the 2003-2005's later...

.....thanks Harry! Love this info.!

Re: Random useless facts about 2002-2005 Thunderbirds

Here's all four years data... The "# Dealer Stock" is the number of units that dealers ordered, as opposed to a customer order. Note the large percent of dealer orders for the yearly Special Edition models. That's reinforces my belief that the "Hero Cards" were directed toward the dealers to draw their attention to their uniqueness. I did a quick search but didn't find much to tell me the average number of days new cars sit on the lot waiting to be sold.


EDIT: Again, thanks to Dot, here is the reconstructed table that otherwise would have been lost due to conversion to this version of TBN.

Re: Random useless facts about 2002-2005 Thunderbirds

I thought I saw someplace that black was the most produced color. It's interesting that in almost all years it's amongst the league leaders in "time to sell" if not taking the longest. I could be wrong on it being the most produced color

Re: Random useless facts about 2002-2005 Thunderbirds

Chuck, that is true for the Tbirds too.

Re: Random useless facts about 2002-2005 Thunderbirds

I thought I saw someplace that black was the most produced color. It's interesting that in almost all years it's amongst the league leaders in "time to sell" if not taking the longest. I could be wrong on it being the most produced color

It may depend on the State / area or the dealers too.
My original order went in to a MA dealer in late 2001 and they could never get me a delivery date. They never checked with other dealers either.
I did and found exactly what I had on order, at a dealer in Maine.

Mine was built 2-22-02 and delivered to Maine and never sold until I found it in late July 2002. I picked it up on 8-3-2002....By the way, that dealer that I placed the original order with went out of business shortly thereafter.

Re: Random useless facts about 2002-2005 Thunderbirds

Here is a chart comparing the number of units ordered by a customer VS those ordered by the dealer. This might be one of the parameters Ford looked at in deciding to pull the plug on further production. The number of customers wanting to order a car to their spec the last year dropped to less than one tenth that of the first year. Not listed as dealer stock or customer ordered units are lease cars, test vehicles, fleet, company pool cars, etc.

Re: Random useless facts about 2002-2005 Thunderbirds

G'morning Bill,

2,961 Thunderbirds were built for Canada. Only the 738 2002s had painted wheels - all were 21 spokes. The rest of the Canadian Tbirds (2003-2005) had 7 or 21 spoke chrome wheels, or 16 spoke machined wheels, just like the USA units.

From the Canadian order sheets I have (dated 12/00) and the Canadian Ford website in 2002, the only wheel available to Canadians on the 2002 was the 16 (my error, it is 21) spoke painted wheels.

The number of 2002s shipped to Canada was 2544 according to the stats. I would assume that ALL 2002s shipped to Canada had the 21 spoke painted wheels even if they appear to be premium models.
I know that those that ordered their cars, sought out chrome wheels by ordering them after they picked up their car either through their dealer or from the US.

Canadian order codes according to their order sheet was 120 (for hardtop) labeled as "Popular" and 100 labeled as Standard (without hardtop).

This appeared to have changed with 2003 and chrome wheels were allowed then. At least that's what owners of 2003 in Canada were reporting.

21 spoke painted?

Re: Random useless facts about 2002-2005 Thunderbirds

21 spoke painted?

Yes, Dot's magic fingers got confused. Only the second typo in 16,000 posts so she is still the T-Bird Goddess in my mind.

2544 sets of painted 21 spokes in Canada. I expect to get the set I bought from Martin Brugman back from the chomers today or tomorrow. Can hardly wait. one down and 2543 still to go.

What I would really like to know is how many of those 2544 sets have been replaced. Ok Harry get on that will ya?

Speaking of Harry and Dot in the same thread and I gotta say that they are two of the most valuable contributors to our insane hobby. Seriously would like to recommend that if at all possible that Harry's valuable ( not useless random facts) be incorporated into Dot's web-site. I'd send $25 to help defray the costs as I'm sure others would.

O/K, I WANT MY WHEELS BACK . Now that they are chromed . Look forward to seeing the results Bill.
