Thunderbird Club

[Gaolee]

hmmmm...Ford went a step further imho...the Shelby Cobra back then, the Ford GT (40) today...

The current Mustang doesn't appear to be much of a slouch, either. You have a point, but Cobras and GT40s are unobtainium and were rarer than Corvettes. A Corvette has never been unobtainium, relative. And there are a whole lot of those floating around, expensive or otherwise. A Thunderbird that evolved over time to be a GT40 or even something else that wasn't a bloat-mobile and that stayed in production as continuously as Corvettes have been would have been great. I don't see Cobras or GT40s as what it would have become. Who knows. It didn't happen. A man can dream.

Darn. Burbank at 63 miles is the closest to me with them. I’ll have to find a different source.

Interesting way to wrap the strings too! That thing would make me cross-eyed trying to figure out which way to turn the tuners!

She is so cute.

That's still a two seat Thunderbird. After '58, they aren't what they should be any more. Imagine what Ford could be building if they had continued to compete with Chevy like they did in the '50s. A modern Thunderbird would be like a modern Corvette. Ford blew it.

That they did.

Nope. Sorry. I’m saying they pick the one they think will be most popular with their audience, whatever that is, and generate the most views.

I got Target’ a mile away. Haven’t been in it since the pandemic began. Maybe I’ll make an exception for those.

Nope. The color is way too tasteful. It's jarring.

Stick in the mud.

I've tried enough variations to know I have no use for peanut butter and chocolate being mixed, despite liking them both.

And where do we get one of these? Any random Ford dealer?

Diamond in the back, sunroof top, digging in the scene with the gangster lean. Gangster white walls, TV antenna in the back

Sure, if I'm sailing across west Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, etc. Otherwise, a land yacht would just stay in port. As land yachts go, that one's diggable, for sure.

Saw this 8 string EB3 looking thing on FleaBay for $300. The HS was scribbled out so I ask for a photo.

He wrote back, “Hello, all of our guitars are made in China. The guitars on the list are custom-made by customers.”

wonder what Gibson would think?

I'm not familiar - why is that?

Yep -

Reese's now has a peanut butter coated animal cracker that is dipped in chocolate. Is that acceptable?

They are acceptable to me.

Where?

I found them at Costco, but pretty sure I also saw them at the grocery store.
