Thunderbird was saled as a make at that time. It's a Thunderbird 2-Door Hardtop 1967 |

Then why didn't you rename the other '67 of the site?  Does that apply to some later models (e.g. 1968-1969)? Though that I am still a little sceptical about that, as I did not found any info on this (text or images). The few commercials that I found did not indeed mention "Ford Thunderbird", but just "1967 Thunderbird" + "Ford Motor Company" + a Ford logo. http://www.tocmp.com/brochures/Ford/1967/TBird/index.htm -- Last edit: 2007-03-25 22:47:46 |

Why do things complicated ? To keep things simple all Thunderbirds should be Ford Thunderbirds. Same goes for Capri (that's just my opinion though). |

Well, for the Capri they were really not sold as "Ford" in USA I suppose (closest make would be Mercury...) But for cars like this one I agree that it makes things complicated. On the other hand, if it was made like that... (it is not the first one in such case) |

According to "The Monstrous American car spotters Guide 1920-1980" (A large detailed 430 page book) by Tad Burness. All Ford Thunderbird's from 1966 up to 1980, were just called 'Thunderbird' (as far as I can see, No Ford badging was used on any of these cars) But as Raul said ..why complicate things? If someone was looking for a Thunderbird, I'm pretty sure they'd look for it under 'Ford Thunderbird' rather than just 'Thunderbird'. (and again a quote from Raul, that's just my opinion!) -- Last edit: 2007-03-26 00:38:58 |

Sorry guys, but shouldn't we be logical here?... the case is exactly similar to the Austin Mini, which began as Austin Seven, then Austin Mini from 1963 to 1970/71, then named as a make Mini ... we have another case with the Auto Union 1000 and DKW, Nash Rambler Metropolitan which became Metropolitan...I'm sure there are some other examples in the car history... So? What is the problem to name Thunderbird, the cars built from 1966 to 1980, while prévious models were Ford Thunderbird Are we still OK to consider the proper designation has to be the exact commercial designation used on the market where the cars were sold and used? |

After reading Jean-marc's reply, I'd say that as we are already doing this type of 'Exact' naming for the other cars, It should also be done in this case also (yes, you've convinced me.!) .gif ":)") .gif ";)") |

But then, as I said, why just name this one without considering renaming all the others in similar case? So now the question is: what other cars should be renamed? I suppose that it started as 1967, not 1966, as 1966 was still the previous model. What was the last year? -- Last edit: 2007-03-26 16:46:47 |

I've checked on US cars of the sixties and found that during all the 60's, Thunderbird was used as brand name with no Ford mentionned ... but I don't know what it was before 1958 and after 1970 |
