UPDATE EMAIL ADDRESS
Hello everyone. I am a new member to this
forum, but a long time reader (almost a year
now). My husband, Ken, and I placed an order
for an 02 Bird in Feb. 01. We are #4 of 5
at our dealer. Our deal was MSRP. We never
imagined the wait would be this long.
Ken and I have shared a long history of
Thunderbirds during our 35 years of marriage.
We have owned 2 '57 Birds. Ken did a ground
up restoration on one, and the other was a
"very good driver". Both have been sold. The sale of one helped to pay college expenses for our two children. Our other
TBirds were an '83 Heritage, an '85 Elan, and an '87 5 speed Turbo Coupe. We ordered
the Turbo Coupe new and still have it. It
has 7,000 original miles, and was selected
to be on display last July in Dearborn for the launch of the new Thunderbird. We toured Wixom and met and spoke with Nancy
Gioia. Her first new car was a Turbo Coupe.
This forum and the old BON have helped us
get through a long and difficult waiting time. We have gained knowledge and information about the cars which would not have been available to us. This is a group
of people who truly care and understand what everyone else is going through. Because of
the 800 number, I was able to learn that our
car was serialized. I knew this information
my salesman did, so I was the one who told
him.
I am happy to announce that Thunderbird
#114987 (Blue/Blue/Partial/Premium) is
scheduled to be built during the week of
April 1st. It will be coming home to New
Jersey, and waiting for its arrival are:
a chrome bezel, upgraded floor mats, Neiman
Marcus wheels, sandblasted porthole emblems
and NJ personalized plates BIRD O2.
Thank you to everyone on this great forum.
Dot, Jodrod, Joelja, Lon just to name a few.
Waiting Patiently No More (Dave) and I met
in Philadelphia last summer at the Ford
Media Tour. We took a new Bird out for a
ride and we were gone almost an hour. The
tour crew was a little worried and thought we
would not return with the car. Dave was
not in a hurry to return the car. I was
saddened to read that WixomPooh is leaving
the Wixom Plant. I was hoping you could look
out for my car. Redbird, if you see #114987
come down the line, could you let me know?
This was much longer than I had planned, but
I've been waiting a long time. Let the
stories begin!!!
