Here is a series of caches that celebrates one of the coolest models of cars ever built, the Ford Thunderbird. I've never owned one, but one day I'd love to buy and old classic example. I'd cruise from cache to cache with the top down! Man, that would be the life.

Unique In All the World
On April 6, 1963, Skeeter Davis started a 4 week stay at the number one position on the Top 30 Radio charts with "The End Of The World", which kept Andy Williams' "Can't Get Used To Losing You" from rising above the number three position on the charts. On Friday, November 22, 1963 President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas during a motorcade. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the killing. Oswald was shot and killed at the Dallas City Jail garage by nightclub owner Jack Ruby 2 days after Kennedy's assassination, and was never brought to trial.
