Out '02 Bird will be here next week. It went through the assembly line on May 20th. It will never replace the '57, but will sure look good sitting next to it in the garage. We are empty nesters and now can enjoy the cars we want. The new Bird will be our 5th convertible at this time. Kinda' hard to jam them all in a three car carage. I also have a '56 Mark II and '57 Country Sedan sitting in storage as well as two of the other convertibles.
I recall when the '83 Birds first came out there were a few people that thought the body style was bizarre, but look what followed. Everybody started building cars that were more aerodynamic. The '83 was a great improvement on what had been available for a few years in Thunderbirds. I hope Ford stays with the new body for a while, its very visible and looks great.
