Excellent photo! Yep, Gord, that's the model-type that I was referring to. The one thing that I think I can remember about the 1980-82 generation of the Thunderbird, was that famous Thunderbird logo that appeared in the tail lights (maybe when they lit up?); well, anyway the cars did carry that same TB logo which was handed all the way down and emblazens the reborn two seaters that we all enjoy so much. At any rate, your photo triggered my memory, and I went through my family photo albums last night and found a photo from May 1996 with that late-great designer's (and neighbor's) T-Bird in the background, the photo here has been cropped. But is the very Thunderbird which was owned by it's legendary designer! As it turns out, we really did have a bit of Thunderbird legend for a neighbor.

Lindy,

I don't recall that a tree on the driver's side was an option on these cars!

Perhaps the one I saw was a tree delete option! LOL

This has been a very interesting post to follow. If we as buyers and owners have such a passion for this vehicle and its history, imagine the emotion shared by those involved in the actual creation.
