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.

The most exclusive new Thunderbird you can own. The 1978 Diamond Jubilee Edition.
1978 would set a new all-time Thunderbird sales record for the second time in as many years. To date, that record still stands.
Median household income in 1978 was $15,064; Sony introduced the Walkman, the first portable stereo; Dallas defeated Denver in the Super Bowl (27-10); "Midnight Express" and "Heaven Can Wait" were hot at the movie theaters; Normal Rockwell passed away.
