YatMing made a 1966 Thunderbird convertible. It's a budget model ($8), with an all-chrome steering wheel and other short-cuts, but it fills a place until something else comes along.

French Dinky No. 1419 is a 1968 2-door coupe, issued first in all one color. Later on they masked the body and sprayed a "vinyl" top on each casting. A unique feature was taillights that would light up when the model was pressed down, simulating brake lights.

I was hesitant on adding these two: my FM is missing steering wheel and has the door gap issue and the 66 is an inexpensive fill.

And there was also an AMT plastic kit of a 1969 Thunderbird in their 43rd scale series.  And also the four door Thunderbird from 1967.
