There's been nothing on a new Bird in any of the three car mags that I subscribe to.

It may just be that Dee's friend refers to the retro as the "new" Thunderbird.

Maybe the person saw this posted on the online Motor Trend. It's just a concept submitted by a Brazilian designer:

I don't think it will ever fly. It looks to me like it's a lot shorter in length than our Birds and for those that complain about not much trunk space, what would you do about this one, add a trunk rack? It doesn't have any class in my opinion. Leroy

I like the hard top-convertible, but where are the portholes?

Looks like a combination of exterior parts from Vette and Camaro. Not something I would want to buy.

Re: Is Ford showing the "New" Thunderbird?

I see Camero (grill) & Corvette (side sculpting) but no Thunderbird here (except the side-mounted logo). Once he finished the wheel wells, he put away his French curve & used a straight-edge for the rest of the design. Tail lights & their surrounds are the low point. Sorry, Ollie, it's not for me. ...
