tous Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 So, I was listening to Little Deuce Coupe by the Beach Boys and I have questions. Can a 1932 Ford coupe hot rod with a flathead V8, yes, it was bored and stroked and had a competition clutch, really, "get rubber in all four gears?" And considering that the song came out in 1963, could that coupe really walk a contemporary Thunderbird? I mean, this was what? Generation three for Thunderbird and you could get 390 ci V8 with three two-barrel carbs producing 390 horse power in 1963. That deuce coupe might take it, but hardly walk it. That song might could be lyin' to us. We can't even trust The Beach Boys. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a ‘73 charger that weighed about as much as a pop can in the rear. Smoked em like a bong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not sure when the bloated luxury weight happened on the TBird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) Probably Gen 5 around 1967 was when the Thunderbird went from a sports coupe to a luxury boulevard cruiser. That was the year they had the wide oval grill, pointy nose and GASP! offered a four-door model. Made sense. A Ford two door sports coupe was -- a Mustang and much cheaper than a Thunderbird. Ruined a great marque. I like the 2nd generation with the eyebrows over the headlights; the 'square Birds.' Edited July 15, 2018 by tous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thunderbird got bigger and substantially heavier in 1958. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Yes, that was the year they added a back seat, but it didn't become a bloated pseudo-Lincoln wannabe until Gen 5. I can still see the '58 through '66 'Birds as sports coupes/roadsters, though they weren't all that nimble, they had good power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 On second thought, one cannot really call an automobile with a back seat a roadster. Mebbe a cabriolet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
