Marketing was the killer, you can't be your own best competitor and have both models survive. The suiside door tech was walked across the parking lot at Ford from the Lincoln continental, now what was unique is a standard in the same family. Ceeding the convertable market was a big mistake. I have seen some that turned their 2 door into a convertable and it works really well( I have seen some that shouldn't have done it...ooo, bad memories.). A four door t-bird is the real legacy, a horse can't plow a field and race on Sunday as well. It's either a t-bird or its something else. I love my 67 2 door hard top(not a peeled top, a hard top.) for the styling, the girl just looks so mean.
