The 1966 model, while not the most striking Thunderbird ever, certainly drew few detractors in the looks department. Let's examine the changes in the 1967 model year compared to the 1966 Ford Thunderbird. I must admit to substantial bias up front I own a '67 myself. So what happened in the 1967 model year that was so awful? Is the opinion of the vast majority of car enthusiasts and Thunderbird fans a valid one? In fact, you'd be forgiven for believing there were no Thunderbirds between '66 and a few 1990s ones you still see kicking around. Save for the few ultra-purists who would rather forget about any Thunderbird produced after 1957 and the ending of two-seater production, the opinion is nigh-on universal. ![]() A web site about Thunderbird history produced at the time of the 2002 model year T-Bird relaunch mentions nothing between that year and the modern day, and it's the same with many unofficial web sites, parts dealers, catalogs, clubs and events. Even the Ford Motor Company, it seems, likes to pretend these days that the Ford Thunderbird line ended in 1966.
