2003 Ford Thunderbird Convertible Premium in Red with Black Leather Interior. Only 27,306 miles. 3.9L/280hp/286lb-ft V8, 5-speed automatic trans.

The Ford Thunderbird is eye candy, a two-seat convertible with one foot in the past and one foot in the future. The Thunderbird is a beautifully detailed car in almost every respect. Cruising along in this car can be a joyous experience. Driving a Ford Thunderbird on a summer night takes you back to a simpler time. The V8 engine burbles as you cruise comfortably back in time. Two seats, convertible top, rear-wheel drive, at times it feels like driving a vintage car.

According to Ford, the two-seat cockpit "reflects the exterior design and the car's romantic heritage with bold style combined with the comfort and convenience today's customers demand." The interior trim complements the body color. Standard features include automatic dual-zone air conditioning, a tachometer, a six-way power driver's seat, a leather-wrapped tilt/telescoping steering wheel and an in-dash six-CD changer.

In the short-lived thirteenth generation, Thunderbird rediscovered its roots. Produced from 2002 through 2005, the "Retro Birds" were Camelot-on-wheels. The model resurrected the classic American two-seat convertible. The round headlights and fog lights, hood scoop, large checkerboard grill and long tapering lines returned, coordinated in a thoroughly modern package. The 2003 Thunderbird features design aspects of the original 1955 car, the 1962 car, and some other, earlier Thunderbirds, but Ford doesn't talk about this car in terms of 'retro' design because it has so much modern equipment in it, on it and underneath it.
