Thunderbird

"The Bird" belonged to a little old lady up until I acquired her last year. She was always garaged and only driven about 4k a year. My next oil change is due at 80,000 miles ;-). She met a few posts, curbs and neighbors and has scars on all four corners, but the interior is immaculate gray leather. I expect to have her for the next 20 years. 18 years ago I had to give up my last Thunderbird when life threw my new wife and I a curve ball but I am very glad to be back with a t-bird again.
