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.
First time in Thunderbird history a major restyle was not
introduced after 3 years (all sheet metal from
windshield forward was new, and the two door
models featured a new roofline)
Two Door Landau models didn't have S-Bars
(first time ever since model was introduced in 1962)
Hidden (windshield) radio antenna introduced as
standard equipment (1970 only)
Locking Steering Wheel and Transmission Selector
Map Light Delay Feature introduced as standard
(early production only)
Radial-Ply Tires introduced as standard
Parking lights remain on with headlights
Concealed windshield wipers introduced as standard
6-Way Power Passenger Seat option returns
High Back and split bench seat options
Special Brougham option
Three Spoke Rim-Blow Steering Wheel option
Relays added to transistorized sequential turn signal
black box to increase the brightness of brake and
turn signal lamps (Production change 12-29-69)
