1989 Ford Thunderbird review from North America
"A smooth old bird"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A/C doesn't work. Conversion needed.
Power Steering leak.
Headlights yellowed.
General comments?
This bird has held up well for a 14 year old auto.
145hp V-6 is a little underpowered, but adequate for around town driving.
Rides and drives nice and solid. Rear wheel drive is the best!
Timeless styling.
