 All Thunderbirds featured 12.8 cubic feet of luggage space. The deep well trunk design, first introduced in 1964, allowed bulky items to stand upright in the center section for better use of space. Luggage compartment was fully lined and automatically lit. The jack assembly was concealed under a flap on the right hand side. |

 An example of a 1971 Thunderbird Two Door Landau (above) in Medium Brown Metallic (paint code 5) with a Brown vinyl roof. This car features the standard wheel covers and the rocker panel molding supplied on cars without the optional vinyl-insert bodyside protection molding. The roofline is reminiscent of the 1966 and 1969 two door Landaus, and would not be used again after 1971. |
