The convertible top incorporates side windows that drop when the doors are opened and rise when closed sealing outside noise quite well. While this feature is nothing new, it is usually only found on premium brands. For long, harsh winters, an optional hardtop with classic portholes is available. Although a two-person job to remove, it comes with a rolling dolly to make summer storage easier.
Only 25,000 Thunderbirds will be made for the 2002 model year with only 2,000 coming to Canada. Ford wants to make sure low volumes keep this "halo" car exclusive. How are they being received? Well, just try to find one for sale. Fact is, the Thunderbird sold out almost entirely before they hit Ford showrooms. Your best bet is to get on the list for a 2003 model, if you don't mind the wait.
