 AM/FM Stereo Radio has four speakers, front-to-rear and side-to-side balance controls, and a stereo jewel indicator light on the FM dial to advise of stereo reception. The lens on the dial features new Thunderbird script for 1970, the only script that appears inside a T-Bird since 1967! |
||||
 Reclining Passenger Seat is available for all interior trims. This photo illustrates the Special Brougham Option in Ginger. |
||||
 The unique Tilt-Away Steering Wheel was replaced in 1970 by a regular Tilt Steering Wheel. Still adjustable up or down to the most comfortable position, it no longer moved up and over to the right automatically when the driver's door was opened. The steering wheel shown above is the Deluxe Three-Spoke Rim-Blow Steering Wheel. Squeezing the rim anywhere on the inside of the wheel activated the horns. |
||||
Driver's Control Console Armrest places frequently used controls at their
fingertips.
From top to bottom: - Remote Exterior Mirror Control knob - Power Seat Cushion Tilt Switches, one controls front of seat cushion, the other the rear of cushion - Power Seat Adjustment Knob to move entire seat up, down, forward, or back - Power WIndow switches (L to R: left front, right front, left rear, right rear) - Power Window Lock switch (If Vacuum Door Locks were optioned, an additional switch would be placed to the left of the Power Window Lock switch to control the door locks.) |
 Thunderbird's Convenience Check Group was mounted over windshield, flashed lights to remind passengers to fastern belts, alerted to door ajar, low fuel, or headlights on. A warning buzzer also sounded with headlights on alert. Vacuum Door Locks were part of this group, and were controlled by switch on driver's door armrest. |

 Referred to as Auxiliary Grille Lamps, these lights were part of the Special Brougham Option, which was available only for the Two-Door models. These lights illuminated with the headlamps, providing very distinctive front end lighting at night. Note the color-keyed front stone shield and deflector (below the grille and headlights, viewed from the top), which was normally a flat gray color (Ford called it "Argent") unless equipped with the Special Brougham Option. |
 Electric Defrost Rear Window melted snow and ice quickly, effortlessly. A reminder light on the instrument control glowed to remind driver of operation. Or, a Rear Window Defogger was also availabe, which featured a two speed fan to reduce fogging of the glass, was also available. |
|||
Automatic Temperature Control Panel, left, has controls to provide the
exact temperature selected year round, with no further adjustments. Top
control lever selects high or low automatic fan speeds, system off, temperature
controlled defogging, or maximum heat and fan speed for deicing. Middle
control lever selects interior temperature to be maintained. Lower control
lever operates the optional Rear Window Defogger with two-speed fan, or
the optional Electric Defrost, shown in the photo above right.
For some reason, the Power Vent feature provided with standard heater and manual temperature control air conditining was not part of the Automatic Temperature Control option. |
