I am fortunate enough to own a new T-Bird, a Prowler and a C5 convertible..forst to the gentleman that mentioned insurance for a Corvete, I pay $77.00/month for the Corvette and $83/mo for the Thunderbird..
As far as reaction, nothing I have ever driven, ever, ever has elicited more reaction than the Prowler. Nuf said...
The T-Bird, no matter what color seems to be such an attraction as there are still not many running around. I'm sure like mine, for most it is not an everyday driver. In a year or so when there are 50,000 of them driving around they will probably not draw as much attention. It is a sexy, smooth automobile coveted by anyone who has a sense of style and panache.
Ford has and will continue to promote the vehicle different than Chrysler did, or should I say did not, do with the Prowler.
Each vehicle has it's own unique qualities as the are fabulous eye candies.
