History of Ford Thunderbird

American classic Ford Thunderbird is a car produced by Ford Motor Company in the United States. It was created just 20 months after the Chevrolet Corvette was returned as a comeback and was introduced as a 1920 model for a two-seater similar to a sports car released on October 22, 1954 (Wilson 116). Thunderbird's performance is good, it costs $ 469, so it's no wonder that it will sell more. In fact, the sales of the first model is nearly four times that of the Corvette (Georgano 122).

In 1954, the Ford Motor Company got a high reputation by manufacturing the famous car "Thunderbird." As a result, the success of Thunderbird's rapidly growing market has brought about the design and development of new cars that are popular at the beginning of the automotive market. Ford CEO hopes to repeat the same success by producing cars they have never experienced based on their marketing strategy. In 1955, Ford Motors began the conceptual design of their new car Edsel. However, due to lack of marketing research, quality control, brand promotion, the car did not reach the selling point

With the success of Continental Mark III, Ford has chosen to develop a successor personal luxury coupe. In 1972, the mainland Mark IV debuted and was redesigned at Ford Thunderbird. If you share a common roof line with Thunderbirds from the window, Mark IV will put on a unique exterior sheet metal part and return to the radiator grill, the embedded headlight, and the redesigned spare tire trunk. To distinguish it from the Lincoln Continent, Continental Mark IV uses a full-height rear wheel opening and fender skirts can not be used.

Lincoln Mark VII has been replaced by Lincoln Mark VIII and remains a variant of Ford Thunderbird / Mercury Cougar after 9 years of production activity (according to the combination of Mark IV and Mark V). This is the first generation mark series originally named Lincoln. Mark VIII (and Thunderbird / Cougar) became the only four-seat rider in the United States using rear wheel drive and four wheel independent suspension, further emphasizing handling. Mark VIII uses its predecessor coupe profile, but in order to modernize its shape, the bulk of the body has been completely simplified (downgrading spare tire bump to deteriorated state). In stark contrast to the predecessors of the 1970s, Mark VIII was given a cockpit interior with all the controls facing the driver
