Man those seats look so soft, compared to these plywood boards they call seats in new cars these days.

Funny thing, premium sound but just an am/fm radio, guy said they ordered it that way, no power antenna, has a plastic plug in the switch hole. No keyless entry either, but it does have the tu-tone paint and rocker moulings added on. It is about as nice as the last one, couple things worse, couple things better but fairly even. Drives nice, lots of pep fun to run around in l, A/C works good! probably gonna spend a couple days down here on the island. Thinking of hitting the autowreckers :D

Driving a thunderbird just feels so 'right' you know what I mean?

What an appropriate place to stop at. When I was a little kid we were on vacation and I made my parents stop at a Thunderbird Motel, somewhere in the midwest, absolutly horrid hotel but it said thunderbird and that worked for me. Hope your stay was a bit better.

The metric tires are as new as you can get without having a sticker on the tread, worth what I paid for the car... you can see on the sidewall the powdery residue that came out of them after a day of driving. The 78 year old owner said it has never seen snow or spent a night out of it's garage. I'm sure thats a bit of an exaggeration but I would eat steak off the floorboards they are so clean!

My gf's grandma wanted to take us out for breakfast, the diner was at the Thunderbird Motor Inn down the street, she didnt even notice till I pointed it out lol

Just for curiosities sake, this car has a steel front bumper. Which isnt rusty :p
