Ford ThunderBird Ford thought they'd take their own stab at the nostalgia business. There are quite a few last-century icons that wear the blue oval. For a revival subject, why not use a car famous enough to have been the subject of Beach Boys songs, starred in George Lucas movies, and has been gone long enough to be missed? Why not indeed. In 2002, the Thunderbird was reborn.

Default The Great Fuel Economy Question

Do you happen to know what the fuel economy of all the 1968 Ford Thunderbird engines were. I'm thinking of getting one but I've heard the fuel economy is beyond a nightmare! like 8 mpg. Is it really that bad?
