But the 1983 Thunderbird marked a major turning point, most of all the new Turbo Coupe. Bond was quite fond of the original two-seater ‘bird, but once it went the way of a softly-sprung, heavy luxury coupe, it had no more interest to a magazine dedicated to cars that would appeal to enthusiasts.

R&T points out that this is their first review of a Thunderbird since 1959. Nevertheless, I have quite a few fond memories of it. It clearly influenced my decision, one I might most likely not make again if I was reliving the spring of 1983. I more distinctly remember Car & Driver’s review, but reading this one, part of hundreds of vintage R&Ts sent to me by a CC reader, brought it back to me.
