It coupled unmistakeably retro body sculpture with an abhorrently conservative, safe interior lifted almost verbatim from the Lincoln LS. Like all such throwbacks, the car was a bit of an oddity. The folks from Regular Car Reviews recently had a go in a 2002 Ford Thunderbird, painted in a heritage shade of baby blue with matching glossy plastic bits sprinkled throughout the interior. One such example was this: the eleventh-generation Ford Thunderbird (2002-2005). The early 2000s saw no shortage of “retrofuturistic” styling exercises from automakers, with each of the Big Three trying desperately to reignite flames long since extinguished with their respective temporally-misplaced homage vehicles. As the decades go on, what was perfectly relevant and trendy at the start suddenly becomes niche and novel, for better or worse.
