hood of this large bodied land yacht is a potent 390 cubic inch V8

its era in terms of performance. The V8 is paired to a smooth
shifting automatic transmission making moving forward even more
luxurious at feel. The interior upholstery has matching red vinyl
seats, carpet, headliner, and dashboard. This car features power
steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, and tilt wheel

luxury legend. The Swing-Away steering wheel fronts instrumentation
consisting of a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for coolant
temperature and fuel level. These Thunderbirds are starting to come
