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 1980 Thunderbird would be a much changed car, once again becoming smaller to compete in a market that was rapidly changing. Another major change would take place for 1983, which would see improved sales but not good enough to prevent Ford from dropping the line after 1997. A two passenger Thunderbird that was styled to be reminiscent of the classic models was introduced in 2002 amid great excitement, but this would not last as the model was again dropped in 2005.
