All it takes is for us owners to, as Nancy Reagan said, "Just say no" to those low offers. On the other hand, we could drive the values down by criticizing those that know the value of what they have.

Fun car. Well made. Uncommon and beautiful styling. And, in the case of mine (black as it is) very, very fast. With fewer each year they might just hold their value better than most on this site seem to think, especially if we could convert a Thunderbird owner or two.
The ford T-bird is a toy version of the original 55-57 model. It's value ismaintained by the factory support our Crossies nolonger enjoy. That, most likely, is why they hold a bit better value.
