The Ford Thunderbird came about in 1955 as a luxury entry and soldiered on for ten generations before being pulled in the late 1990s. Like many cars born during that era, each model was significantly different from the one before it, including in terms of design, and that means all you T-Bird fans out there have your own favorite.
For us, the top spot goes to the very first-gen, the two-seater that looked so beautiful it almost seemed Italian. But there are other generations that deserve their share of attention, too.
The fifth would be one of them. Introduced in 1967 with significant design changes (the most visible being at the front, where the model was gifted with something that looked like a beak because nothing was off-limits back then), the nameplate moved to being larger, as not to overlap with the slightly newer Mustang.
