I have owned three Thunderbirds, all Sports Roadsters, all also worth much more today that when I bought/sold them but not more so than the others despite no factory support.
You must have a different Crossfire than mine. Mine is great car and a much better car than any modern Thunderbird. I voted with my dollars.
By the way, love the Batman costume quote....
I owned a 57 bird for years. Loved it.
My Crossie is no different than most. Far and above the modern T-bird. I don't understand your point there.
The 2002 T bird was a dream brought to life, literaly drug there, by Henry the III. Too Late for the market it addressed and too Wimpy, it was built for a market of guys like me who always wanted one,,,again. Though the retro looks were appealing, it just did not have the stuff.
As for quirky old english cars, there is no explanation for the lure. MG roadsters andtriuphs have their following 'cause they are differt'>
Muscle cars are a whole nuther region of insanity. And i share that disease with many ethusiasts out there who wish we had the time and the money to be a teenager again. Forgeting eintirely the impractability of a 440 wedge in a Dart Chassis.
The Crossfire doesn't bring any of that back. The 2000 series T-bird alludes to, but in my humble opinion, did not deliver. Still it begs my heart a bit, whenever I see one.
But, as you said, the crossie is a better car period.
