Geocache Description:

The Fabulous Thunderbirds - 1964

 

 


Congrats Flintstone5611 on FTF!!!

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.

So Different...So Beautifully Different!

The 1964 Fall television schedule featured several popular new shows, among them "Voyage To the Bottom of the Sea," airing on ABC Monday nights at 8:00; "Shindig!" was also on ABC at 8:30 on Wednesday nights; NBC offered "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." at 8:30 on Tuesday night; and two ghoulish families appeared for the first time: "The Addams Family" and "The Munsters," both of which put the Ward Cleaver's in a very separate class. If you were driving your new Thunderbird the week of May 2, 1964, chances are you heard Louis Armstrong's "Hello Dolly" on the radio. It was the number one song in the land that week, its first of three weeks at the top spot. Dean Martin closed out 1964 with his new chart debut "You're Nobody Til Somebody Loves You" on December 26, 1964.
