Of the two, I would rather own and drive the smaller T-Bird. Ford for me John. Happy Fourth!

Love the Thunderbird, but love the Toronado just a little bit more.  Great pics and colors John!

The beautiful ‘66 Toronado has always been one of my favorites!

Toronado for me. Love its revolutionary style. 


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Thunderbird for me and would love it even more if it was a 65. Never cared for the Toronado

My love for the T-Bird faded big time after 1963.  I voted for the brawny, beautiful and innovative Toronado.

Both beautiful automobile designs. I believe perhaps Jay Leno had a 1966 Toronado powered by a 1,000 hp V-8 and driving the rear wheels.

The Toro with its Big and Brawny look is growing on me but it's the refined lines of the T-Bird that wins my vote.

Gents thanks for your replies.
