Big Brown Truck

[Gobird]

Well, the big brown truck stopped here today. I just got my 3rd. installment of the T-Bird Collection. The Little blue book. I haven't gotten anything since Jan. didn't even look at it yet, just know it's blue. Now all I need I think is two more to finish the collection. I figurer I may get all of them by the end of this year the way things seem to work with this.

Got mine yesterday. A neatly designed book about numbers and the TBird.

 

[T02 Bird]

Me too! Thanks Spence for the heads up. I would never have known to look as the UPS man leaves packages on our front porch behind the garden hose and I usually enter the house through the garage. So I guess we're now only waiting for box #4?

T02Bird, I think we have two more to come. Unless you already got your 5th one. I think there are a total of 5 mailings.

There are 5 in the collection. some have received 4 already ie -if they got #5 earlier this year. We're all waiting for #4. and some are still waiting for #2, &/or #3 & #5

I'm still waiting for 4 & 5. Already received 1, 2, & 3. Believe at the begining they said the 5 mailings would be spread over 2 years.

rls,

I'm in the same boat and they say the first thing that goes is the mind, I don't know if I will remember my initial thoughts by the time it gets here.

 

[Gobird]

Joe, just what is the second thing that goes???

I'm not going to touch that one.

Been wondering if the program was still in
existence. So far only 1 and 2 has arrived.

When picked up the car the salesman gave us
a number to call on customer service. But
if remember someone posted that they
wouldn't talk to you if not a dealer.

Collection was supposed to be mailed at 3 month intervals - they are fairly close to that after a delayed start. That totals up to just about 1 year (or 1 year & 3 months). From all appearances, those that started getting theirs later in the cycles may still have to wait 2 or 3 months between collection mailings - even after the rest of us are finished. Just be thankful if they get their mailings to you sooner than anticipated.

 

[rlstonejr]

RTBRD- sometimes my sarcasm doesn't quite come thru in print - I can hardly remember my last experience, forget about the first!

According to the 800# people at the TBird collection program, the 4th mailing is going out "toward the end of May".

The 4th mailing is the white book....and a diecast model the color of YOUR car.

So far I have everything but #4. I got mailing #5 about a month after I took delivery of my car, and got #3 (the blue book)yesterday. I still haven't decided what I want on the plaque. What have people put on theirs? Just curious.

Thanks,

My last mailing was the book with the surprise in the back....look ma, no batteries. Still waiting for 4 & 5.

Is there any way to get started on this T-Bird Collection at this late date? I waited 18 months for my car, and my salesman said he gave my name to Fords for some type of freebes they were sending out but, not sure if its the same thing. I've never received anything and now he's retired so I can't check. Whats the 800 number? Maybe I can start there.

Sorry. No Way. Others have tried. Your salesman did not keep up to date with Ford's programs. Ford canceled the "freebie" Managing the Wait program right after they started it. Your dealership had to "buy into" the Thunderbird Collection which didn't start until May 2001. Sign ups for that ended in December, 2001.

Got my number 3 yesterday (5/16) as well. Just a little disappointed that it featured blue vs my yellow...which I cherish fervently!!
