If you are passionate about something, it does not matter what others think. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The '67 birds were nice and unique with the suicide doors. But I do feel that in '67 Ford lost the styling that made Thunderbirds different than other comparable cars on the market at the time. The '66 and earlier birds just ooze style - the lines, the curves, I mean look at the dash and controls of a '66 my god. Everything about them makes them stand out. But who cares what we think - enjoy your classic. There may be some earlier bird owners out there that don't care for my '66 Town Landau's styling - come on guys and girls - speak up. And that is fine and I can understand why since the designs are different. But what we all have in common here is that Ford build cars that appeal to us - even though the cars are different but have the same name. Would I like to own a '68, absolutely as it is a great classic, and unique in some ways, car, but it was the '66 that I fell in love with at a car show that I was showing my true love at - '69 Mustang Mach 1 - Giddy up!!!!
