1977 was
a major turning point for the Thunderbird. From its birth in
1955 until 1977 the T-Bird had been growing in size, luxury and
price. The 1977 to 1979 Thunderbird was a move down in size and
price. Now 900 pounds lighter and smaller, the T-bird also sold
for thousands less. Sales exploded from approximately 91,000
to an astounding 322,000 sales in 1977. Some collectors refer
to this series as the "Torino Bird." Others
call it the "Fashion Bird." Built on the Ltd II chassis
and mechanicals, the body was uniquely Thunderbird. The car had
a distinctive architectural look to it. The public loved it! |
