Re: FILA T-Bird?????????? Reply #15 – January 26, 2005, 11:13:33 PM I don't know, having a car that has some sporting goods badges seems kinda lame. Thank god Ford didn't take it further and released a Jenny Craig Thunderbird, a Nerf Football Thunderbird, or a Captain Crunch Thunderbird.I can only imagine the early SVO techs laughing their asses off when sporting goods manufacturers and clothing manufacturers came up in creative meetings in the 80's. "I contacted someone at Bill Blass about throwing in a free purse with every new car." "Oh, how's the plans coming for the Ford McThunderbird?"Chris Quote Selected
Re: FILA T-Bird?????????? Reply #16 – January 27, 2005, 01:23:32 AM I saw an 85 white FILA in the wrecking yard about 7 months ago. It totally took me by surprise. I had no idea it was made. I needed a new grill for my 85 Elan and I wanted one that wasn't chrome so I could paint it body color. So, I took the white one from the FILA. Quote Selected

Re: FILA T-Bird?????????? Reply #19 – January 27, 2005, 09:27:26 AM Hey if it makes money, anyone will cross-promote. Worked for Eddie Bauer. Now we have Bulgari themed gauges on Caddies. Sometimes its done well, other times it just kinda lame...the Fila only lasted for 2-3 years for a reason, I guess. Quote Selected

Re: FILA T-Bird?????????? Reply #21 – January 27, 2005, 09:55:27 AM I like the white exterior too. Lower it, put some nice wheels, tint the windows, dual exhaust and you would be styling!!!!! :ies: Quote Selected
Re: FILA T-Bird?????????? Reply #22 – January 27, 2005, 09:55:46 AM You gotta remember it was the 80's when this came out and people wanted anything they could get with a label and a name on it even if it was stupid .......remember members only jackets? Quote Selected
Re: FILA T-Bird?????????? Reply #23 – January 27, 2005, 11:34:53 AM I'd love a mint condition Fila. It's like a slice-of-life of 80's styling. Remember all those white on white on gray Pontiacs? White body, white rims, gray interior. It worked for them. Quote Selected

Re: FILA T-Bird?????????? Reply #25 – January 27, 2005, 10:42:28 PM i think the promotional editions had to do somewhat with fashion cause at the time, FILA sneakers and gear was getting popular... and a few year later the two-tone jeans and jackets were also in style so they had two-tone color versions as well in those years....now there was also another promo-T-bird in 2002 the Neiman Marcus edition...and mercury had the nautica villiger...also those Fila wheels, are actually from the european hi-po ford sierra!!!! so id say the fila edition is definately an 80s collectible....

Re: FILA T-Bird?????????? Reply #28 – January 28, 2005, 12:17:32 AM Pretty stossy for a thunderbird. If it didn't say Fila on it I would really like it. Quote Selected
