I’ve noticed there’s a lack of any “Ford” name badge anywhere on the car- why?

Thunderbird from the beginning of the car, they never put FORD on the car. Thunderbird was meant to be a special car different from the fret of the Fords.

My 2004 has wheel covers with the word Ford on them.
I only have three left and they appear to be irreplaceable!

That’s what the original hubcaps were like as well, but the car doesn’t .

My 2005 has ford on the center caps as well

Here’s my center cap

Possibly Bluedice does not know the history of the Special marque name of Thunderbird.
Ford had no intention to make the Thunderbird part of the everyday line up of Ford models. Ford wanted the Thunderbird to be unique. It was throughout all its build years.
 
Retro designers bein' Retro. They (fortunately) didn't use the blue oval stamp. They did tastefully add the old-timey FORD lettering on the caps. One reason I don't want to change out the wheels. Something about 16 spokes with the creamish caps looks right on a merlot. Yum!
 
Wow, never knew that. Had to go to the garage to check to see if my 2005 Bronze has it and yes it does.
