TBird had a 4 door, based on the Lincoln, from 67 to 71. They had 'suicide' rear doors, that opened at the B pillar, and hinged at the rear. If one were to open the rear door while underway, and struck something with the door, both you and the door would promptly part company with the car, thus the name.
