Driving this premium convertible Ford Thunderbird on a summer night takes you back to a simpler era. The V8 engine hums as you cruise comfortably back in time. With two seats, a convertible top, and rear-wheel drive, it sometime feels like driving a vintage car, only it's brand new. Thunderbird's 3.9-liter V8 produces 280 horsepower and 286 pound-feet of torque, giving it strong acceleration. Traction control is standard on all models, with a cool instrument pod. A Select-Shift automatic transmission allows semi-manual shifting. Heated seats keep driver and passenger toasty-warm, even with the top down in chilly weather. Thunderbird comes in Premium trim, is very well equipped, with anti-lock brakes; all-speed traction control; Homelink three-button garage-door opener; leather-wrapped, power tilt steering wheel; power mirrors and windows; AM/FM stereo with in-dash six-disc CD player and clock; center console with storage; cup holders; six-way power driver's seat; two-way power passenger seat; SecuriLock security system; speed control; dual vanity mirrors; dual driver and passenger automatic temperature control; leather bucket seats; second-generation front and side air bags for driver and passenger; and heated seats with seven-spoke, 17-inch chromed aluminum wheels. It comes with a removable hardtop with porthole windows that were a trademark on the 1956-57 Thunderbirds. The interior has the Light Sand appearance package including the sand-colored convertible top, seats, steering wheel, shift knob, and soft boot, plus cream-colored gauges. It's sporty looking with a 6.9-cubic-foot trunk which is big enough to carry two golf bags and luggage for your fabulous weekend get away. Two very comfortable bucket seats are independently adjustable with power switches located on the side of the seat. The thick steering wheel with cruise control buttons built into the spokes, feels terrific in your hands, even after an all-day white-knuckle high-speed cruise; and there is a standard power tilt and telescope feature to help you feel at one with the car. Instruments are beautifully rendered. Long, Sea Foam Green needles point the way instead of red, white or black indicators. The shape of the instrument binnacle reflects the gentle dome shape of the '55-56 original. The door panels feature the spread-wing Thunderbird emblem. The center stack, that portion of the instrument panel at the center of the dash that carries the vents, the sound-system controls and the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) controls This Thunderbird8 engine provides plenty of power to drive the rear wheels and the traction control ensures a steady grip during acceleration. The engine is smooth, mechanically quiet, and ready to go whenever you need passing power. The engineers have given it an interesting combination of air-intake rush and exhaust thunder. Ford's five-speed overdrive transmission is responsive. Expect 0-60mph performance in the range of 7 seconds flat This is a comfortable cruiser on the interstate. The all-independent suspension, derived from the Jaguar S-Type, is slick and smooth; and the Thunderbird is enjoyable to drive. The rack-and-pinion steering is quite nicely weighted, giving you a pretty good idea of what the Michelin P235/50R17 quiet-ride luxury tires are doing at any given time. Traction control is standard. Slam on the binders and the four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS) work very well, with nice, progressive pedal feel and lots of stopping power in emergencies. The Ford Thunderbird is eye candy, a beautifully detailed car in almost every respect. Cruising along in this car will be a joyous experience.
