Default You never hear much about the new thunderbirds

Do you think its because of the styling or because its not that powerful of a car?

The only T-bird I ever liked was the Chip Foose one

Yeah, it's a good chassis, but to take advantage of it you really want the Lincoln LS.

I loved the 90's T-birds for some strange reason, and all the remakes that have been done in the last few years are also pretty sweet. That one needs some more help though. There's an exception to every rule I suppose....
