I was 46, bought my Cashmere new on 4/15/2005, results of a bad tax day and needed a treat, I had just gotten back from La Jolla, California where I had rented a 2005 Silver and Black Thunderbird for a week.

I was 60 and Liz was 58 when we bought the RedBird, but I've wanted one since I got to take a friends '57 out for a spin in '67. Could'nt afford one then had to settle for a used '65 Mustang then a '70 Mach 1. Only took 46 years and a Harley to trade for RedBird, but Liz smiles everytime she takes it out for a spin!

I was 53 when I ordered it and 13 month later when it came in I was 54.

After a test drive in Palm Springs 2003 I loved the car but divorce and unemployment followed. Discovering the PCR color as well as in 2008 in my own country an almost brand new PCR at 7k miles, I had to buy it and celebrated: I'm back!
While the taste for retro infected me, changing my interior at home into avantgarde/vintage and buying the almost 30 year old Saab. Guess it's to joyfull spirit and dreams out of that retro period that I appreciate so much.

64 and glad I waited. I didn't really care for the looks of it (mostly the front) when it first came out. Now I can appreciate it (love the ride), especially when it seems like every other car I see is an Altima!

Thought about it for 5 years. Then decided I must buy before getting too old! Bought at age 68.

You got that right, Dave, started waiting in one category and ended up in the next one when it finally arrived.

Ditto that Dot!

Bought my BIRD when I was 74, and I am still 74. Hope to remain young at heart and bird brained for many years to come.

Bought our retro-bird 4 years ago when I was 67, could not be more happy.

Greg,
Millken sold his car and hasn't been on this site in over 2 years. Don't think you will get an answer to your question.
