40 birds thank you for the clarification on the sensor in the grill. What technology for 43 years ago.

Believe it or not, but in 1969 they had offered anti-lock brakes for the thunderbird as well. One year only.

I once drove a 69 Mark III with ABS when I was younger. It was a used car at a dealer I worked at. When I tried the ABS it was very rough and sounded like rear wheel axle hop!

Yeah I’d imagine that’s probably one of the reasons it’s was a one year only thing. Probably couldn’t get it to work right. Glad I don’t have it. I can only imagine trying to get replacement parts for a 50 year old abs system. Most would probably think you were just talking crazy to even ask for parts for such a thing.
