At the back of the car, a familiar thin Thunderbird rear valence is comprised of a contoured trunk lid and a second show worthy chrome bumper. Below those trick door handles, stainless 'feathers' highlight jet inspired power bulges, and on the rear fenders pristine chrome “Thunderbird” scripts sit above optional fiberglass fender shields. At the sides of the car, bold stainless trim traces ridged side panels from front to back turning the cars door handles and chrome rearview mirrors into both functional and stylish accessories. Behind that windshield a new black cloth top gives way to a rare sports roadster option which turns this high class four-seater into a dramatic two-seater in a snap. At the edge of that hood, a good looking Thunderbird emblem spreads familiar teal wings, and at the back of that hood like-new glass is bordered by more well-maintained stainless trim. At the front of the car, four 'bullet style' headlights split a canted chrome bumper, which integrates a toothy stainless grille, from a stainless trimmed hood which wears an upsized traditional Thunderbird scoop.
