Poll: Which Thunderbird? (7/31/2021)

1957...so beautiful.

Me favourites are the 1955 to 1957 Thunderbirds over all others.

Exactly what Ed said !

Tougher than I thought, but the 57 takes my vote. 

This one was easy for me.  The '58 NO-CONTEST!  Just never been a fan of little cars.  

I want’em both😜😜

Like both and have owned both in 1/1 scale. At my age now I clearly pick the 58 for the ease of entry and exit. I still own my 61 Corvette and so I don't need another hard to get into car. A few years ago I traded my 55 Bird for a 1955 Imperial for the same reason. 1958

Two different genres and I would be happy with either one.  Or two.

55 and 57 baby birds are by far my favorites.  56 is ruined by the connie.

The 55-57 Thunderbird is iconic and love to see them, but in '58 Ford did what was needed to make the car a long term asset in their lineup. 

I love the style of the Square Birds and it only gets better with the 61-63. 

This fella puts the '55-57 Birds as landmark automotive styling, up there with the XKE, Bentley SI/ RR SCI, split-window 'Vette, MKI and MKII Continentals, '63 and '66 Buick Rivieras, Ferrari 250 GTL "Lusso", and '90s Bentley Continental R. 

And, like mileage, your opinions will vary!

It's difficult to compare, imo, because each is unique and, imo, beautiful.  I like them both but went for the '57 as it is the final edition of the original and iconic two-seater Birds.

Agree that the 61 to 63 T-birds were particularly gorgeous.  Sadly the styling declined after that year IMHO.

I think the 64-66 Birds were very nice too, not as good as the previous years, but still very pretty. The '67 is good, but after that they got a bit bloated and then even more so. I've owned 4 Thunderbirds, and for the most part they were decent cars, easy to drive. I had a '72, '77, '83 & a '96.
