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.
