Thunderbird Club

Your sarcasm eludes me.

and your assumption me……you’d be surprised how many silly looking instruments sound great…JIO’s sounds awesome…

Yeah. And what about those weird looking Thunderbirds.
Wait...
Seriously, I'm convinced that I've never gotten any [stuff] about my 67 NR b/c it doesn't look "radical" to most people. It sorta looks "normal"(whatever that is).

But Geo did his magic to it.

 

[RedVee]

Yeah, I think they really got it right with the lines of the 57*. Brakes, motors, and trannies can be replaced w/o effing up their lines.

Big boot for a two seater. Enough room for 2 Rumbles and a 67 NR Thunderbird in coffin case.

The Chaparral is an interesting topic as well. Though not road cars afaik

Well, when the road-car Chaparral hit LeMon's - I was a big fan!

Curtis Mayfield is always worth the price of admission.

Shut yo mouth!

But I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft

And 3 in the trunk of a 63 Ford.

Or six in a 58 Desoto.

Mustang, Camaro, Barracuda, and Javelin were all competing with each other. And with a couple derivatives of those. That seems to have been the case, with gaps and attrition ever since. GM seems to be turning Camaros into something entirely different now. Ford started that way with a bloated electric SUV they call a Mustang.

When at the Ford dealer getting our used Explorer we walked by one of the new Mustangs and I laughed and said to the guy, "You know that's not a Mustang? Looks more like an EV Pinto." He laughed and agreed.

Vettes looked kinda boring for a while. The most recent style is one of the sexiest Vettes ever.

I'm stuck liking the late 60s and early 70s the best.

I was thinking how kids now don’t have drive in’s. It was our Saturday night fun when nothing else was happening. Beer, wine, JD, and chasing girls in a relatively safe environment. Where do they do that stuff now?

Online. (I see Geoff beat me to it.)

Yes, you are so right on the money there.

Friend of mine had a 1963 galaxy wagon. We went on a Lotta double dates with a lot of cases of beer and some other things which probably have not run out of their statute of limitations yet

That sounds a lot more inappropriate than it really was. I guess you can let your imaginations do what they will.

We are a curious bunch, "other things" like what?

Right on.

 

[Engle]

Everyone to their own bag(or as I like to say "tweetchie zone"), but if I poured any of y'all a glass-without saying what it was-you'd barely notice the "PB". It's more of a hint than a strong flavor.

Like me, it's cheap-I bought a 1 liter bottle today for $19.95, plus tax-and a recappable tire.(<trucker reference)

"I bought a 1 liter bottle". They sell booze by the liter in Florida?

 

[Engle]

Love it!

And aren't selling. Ford just lowered the price by 8 grand and retroactively adjusted leases...
