FORD THUNDERBIRD t bird– AN AMERICAN ICON – CELEBRATES ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY

The Ford Thunderbird, an American classic, became available to customers on Oct. 22, 1954.
In honor of the 50^th Anniversary, Ford will commemorate the Thunderbird with a 50^th anniversary fender chevron and special paint themes.

The Ford Thunderbird went on sale Oct. 22, 1954 – starting a legend that would grow with each generation of Thunderbird cars. Since then, the flight of the Thunderbird has included classic two-seaters, cherished roadsters, convertibles and four-door models, as well as exciting hardtops and sedans – more than 1.2 million of them. We’ve seen the square look, the projectile look, the jet aircraft look and the luxury look. Yet, through the years and through the many changes, Thunderbird’s original uniqueness and individuality managed to etch itself permanently into the hearts and memories of the American motoring public.
