1996 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"These last of the big Birds will appreciate in Value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear Tail glow lamp. This is a circuit
board type illumination and is not repairable. You must replace the entire lamp assembly. Cost was $230 at dealer.
Found used for $85.
General comments?
Beautiful fault free (mechanical) low mileage 'Bird that is classy, sporty,
(even with the V-6) and economical.
Handles quite nicely, rides smooth.
