For Sale: 2002 Ford Thunderbird in Charlotte, North Carolina

After TEN generations of awesome coupes and convertibles, Ford executives pulled the plug on Thunderbird production in late 1997. Fact was, the market had been moving away from two-door offerings for decades, and Ford was more interested in building on the monumental success of their Taurus sedan and wagon. That is, until the 'new Beetle' and Chrysler's infamous PT Cruiser tapped into a massive retro craze that would steer the entire automotive industry for years to come. With the Thunderbird marque, Ford execs knew they had an ace in the hole. And when they unveiled this car, lovingly nicknamed the 'retrobird', it was considered a stroke of genius! Today, almost 20 years after the last retrobird was assembled, these cars hold steady alongside Prowlers and SSRs as unique modern collectibles that define an era of American automotive history. And that's not even considering how great this 14,595-mile cruiser is to drive!
