1985 TBird 21.000 miles Reply #15 – January 31, 2013, 12:33:39 AM Quote from: EricCoolCats;408403Could have been a 'Value Leader' also...that's when dealers got a car that was not loaded but still allowed people with a lower price range to get into the model. I think all dealers had to get at least one Value Leader per model year, per model. That explains a lot of the cars with vent windows and crank-up windows: no a/c, hence manual ventilation. I would think the value leader would be a V6 car, as most of the bare bones Cougars/Thunderbirds I've seen have had the 3.8. I have seen a weirdly optioned 87 Cougar LS at the yard that had to have been special ordered. It had no options except a 5.0, premium sound with EQ, and leather. It had manual seats, mirrors, windows, and locks. Weird option combo if you as me. But this was back when you could order a car exactly how you wanted it. I think this stopped in the early 90s.
