2002 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop
01
Artifact Overview
After discontinuing the Thunderbird in 1997, Ford Motor Company revived the storied model for 2002. The new Thunderbird's retro design went back to the two-seat layout and porthole windows of the mid-1950s, but with up-to-date comforts and conveniences. The rebirth was short-lived. Initial strong sales trailed off, and the Thunderbird disappeared again in 2005.
