The "hashes" referred to are affectionately known as 'feathers' by T bird folks.

 

Pink - Rose what ever it's still a great car! Wish I still had mine. Went into the army in 67 and it was almost show condition. Came home in late 68 both front fenders smashed in, drivers door dented, rear bumper dented and tail light broken. Never changed the oil or even checked it. My parents let my little brother drive it! When I came home they bought him a 65 vet and I got my broken bird back. Moved out soon after so I would not go to jail for strangling the little twerp. Family you got to love them.

 

Are you sure about that? LOLOL.

 

The way I see it is that if ya take the
trunk deck off any sedan then ya got
a pick up. Right? Or just tell folks the
lid is the bed cover.

 

If you still want a FF truck, I'd suggest a panel! All the leg room you could want with a set of 6 way power comfy seats. All the carry capacity of a pickup unless you are hauling refrigerators or vending machines.

 

Ax I didn't think about a panel. Now to convince my wife. Maybe the hunt is on. Thanks

 

Yes, that is a 1962. I had one growing up too, even down to the Fomoco SS dealer add-on door strips on the sides. Those were essential as the door sides always got dinged without them. They were square edged and would take a chip out of the edge of any door that hit them. Mine was "Chestnut" color. No swivel seat but the wheel swiveled, "Swing-Away Steering Wheel". Oops, sorry Dave we got off topic.

 

I have a Panel and a pickup can't drive both . Make an offer I can't refuse .

 

Oh I would love too. Until the Doc says what is going to happen my wife has me on a very short leash. Rightfully so because I would just keep going until I couldn't walk at all. You know typical 60s mentality - no pain no gain. If I get the ok we'll talk but it's going to be some time. Thanks

 

Aka "fat man wheel".

Wow! That's a NICE panel!

 

Also handy when short people drove the car last.

I agree. I would like to have that nice looking panel. I like the color.

 

A bit of a Thunderbird fan myself. This is my 5th one, ordered it in 97 when I heard they were being discontinued. Still driving it daily.

 

It is indeed a nice ride! You should see how many FTE'ers can fit in the back of that thing.

 

That is more than just a nice panel - it's BEAUTIFUL !!!

 

And, it rides good and goes down the road very nicely.
