The car that became a legend in its own time...1973 Thunderbird

The 1973 Ford Thunderbird was a popular choice among luxury buyers, selling in numbers much higher than it had in recent years. Ford added a slew of items to the standard equipment list during the model run, which placed the T-Bird's base price closer to that of the Mark IV. Opera Windows appeared for the first time, and were optional early in the model year. They were so popular it's difficult to find one without them today.

The Thunderbird continued to be a styling trend setter, and introduced color-keyed wide vinyl bodyside moldings as an appearance option for the first time. They would become another Thunderbird styling hallmark through the rest of the decade.

The powerful 429 V-8 made its last appearance in the 1973 model year, as did front bucket seats and console (they were options), both T-bird staples that dated back to 1958.
