The bucket seats offer original-style upholstery (if not the actual, original upholstery) with a wonderful combination of pleats and quilted seating surfaces, and the rear seat with its famous wrap-around look is perhaps even more inviting. Trim is surprisingly restrained on this lovely Thunderbird, but details like the fender-mounted turn signal indicators, faux hood scoop, and the finely detailed egg-crate grille are all in fine shape.īlack upholstery combined with bright stainless trim makes this feel like an adult's car in every way. It's by no means a perfect piece, and there are a few imperfections that can be seen upon closer examination, although most of them could easily be attended to with a thorough buff-and-wax. Note how well the doors line up with the quarters, the deep shine that reflects without distortion, and the total absence of waves that would suggest significant bodywork underneath. Workmanship is great throughout and with that much sheetmetal, there are plenty of places for things to go wrong, yet the guys in charge of the repaint didn't really miss a thing.
