Typically, the new car market slows during the Spring months. Ford was always quite adept at capturing new interest during this time with special promotions, advertising campaigns, and new model introductions. The 1963 Thunderbird Limited Edition Landau was introduced in Spring 1963, so was the 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang in Spring 1964, and the 1969 Continental Mark III in Spring 1968. To offset the sales slump in April 1975, and to commemorate the Thunderbird's 20th Anniversary, the Jade Luxury Group option was introduced...

Unfortunately, Ford Motor Company did not keep records of how many 1975 Thunderbirds were equipped with any of the Luxury Group options. Since they were a trim package, which did not require separate body style identification numbers, accurate production numbers are difficult to determine. However, it is believed that Thunderbirds equipped with any of the Luxury Group option packages were quite rare when new, and even more so today. 1975 Thunderbird Could it be the best luxury car buy in America?
