Description
2003 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Convertible
This 2003 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Convertible (soft top was standard and hardtop was an option) is an eleventh generation model of the Thunderbird that was produced for the 2002 to 2005 model years. At the beginning this model was well received and won some awards however in general this model was not warmly received by everyone and in 2009 Car and Driver listed it as one of its 10 most embarrassing award winners in automotive history.
The original 1955 to 1957 Thunderbirds had several different upgrades available to the engines and was considered a high performance vehicle of its day. There was no effort given to present a performance image to this new Thunderbird design and while the V8 engine was somewhat competitive in power the heavy weight of the vehicle, widely spaced shift points on the automatic transmission and suspension system that was designed more for comfort than performance handling caused the car to feel more like a luxury vehicle than a sport coupe. Sales of this model did not meet expectations and production stopped with the 2005 model year.
