Thunderbird Collection Ident. Plate

[Chief]

I received my identification plate from Thunderbird Collection Headquarters yesterday. (We were asked to complete and return a card.)
It's really quite nice. Very heavy with adhesive on the back.
It would look nice in the Bird. Thinking about where to position it. Any ideas?

We've had board discussion on this subject before. We have the plate now!

 

[Birdbrain]

We got our plate yesterday as well. The note that accompanies it says we can place it in the Ford Collection book that has the pouch for it, or mount it in the car. It has double faced tape on the back to place it in the car. We haven't decided yet. I really like the 3-dimensional shape of the bird logo. Still wish they had given us a separate plaque with the MT Car of the Year on it. May look into having a jeweler create that for me.

Chief & BB,

Mine has yet to come for Amadeus. Is this a personalizable plate? I still have the one that I got with my 1983 Heritage edition...it came as a form that you could write or print upon, return to them, and the plate was then manufactured. I have my signature, and Go Heels on that one, and it has followed from the '83 to the '87 LX, on to the '89 S/C, and is now on the dash of the '95 S/C.

I took delivery October 9, 01 and have received mailings 1, 2, & 3 but never received # 5 with the card to fill out for the plate. Oh well will just sit back and wait. It will arrive one of these days.

Lon you have one more mailing then I do. Still managing the wait. Although it is a lot easier if you have your car even if it is in the Body Shop now.

My plate has "MT Car of the Year 02",
My name and the Bird Vin#.

It's very nice!

 

[Hobobob]

Chief, that was a good idea about putting the "MT Car of The Year 02" on your nameplate. I have had my plate application for about 2 months and haven't been able to decide what to put on it besides my name. It will already have the vin# I think. Does anyone else have any ideas?

 

[TbirdTim]

I put my name on it, then the VIN number and then I decided to put the month/day/year that it was "born" or made.

 

[Gobird]

Maybe we should start a topic on this or maybe we have already done this. There should be a lot of us getting this plate in the near future, at least we hope so. With this program you never know what is going to happend. If and When I get mine I would like to find a place on the inside of the car to put it so everyone can see. I'm just not sure what I will put on it at this point.

OK , we need opinions on this subject.

I asked for the same info you did, Tim, except that I used the date I picked up the car. A day of exquisite joy.

I received my plate today also, and I know that I definitely want it in the car and not hidden in the black book. A few ideas:

1. On the chrome strip, passenger side of the dash
2. On the chrome strip, inside driver's side door
3. On the empty slot in the dash, just above the shift knob -- although it would not sit flush
4. On top of the center console
5. Permanently on my forehead!

I just can't decide. What other ideas do you folks have?

P.S. Lon, maybe you should call the Thunderbird Collection number (whatever that may be). You really should have gotten mailing #5 by now! You are a very patient man.

[Chief]

In doing some potential problem analysis, is there anything which will remove the left over adhesive residue from the chrome strip? In the event the plate falls off etc...

 

[Leon Emmons]

Chief, to remove the adhesive use orangesol or call me and I will send you some hairpiece tape remover.

 

[DavidA]

Leon -- I've got some residue adhesive on my visor where I removed the labels. Are you saying orangeoil will take it off? the same orangeoil that is used to polish furniture?

 

[greenwr]

I am thinking about attching to the SS Thunderbird book ends. I could not find a flat place in the car that I wanted to place it.

Lon - I took delivery on October 1, 2001 and have only received #1 mailing. After they cashed my check I guess they forgot about me. Oh well, one of these days.

You wouldn't happen to have that number handy do you?

Joy, the word "Crafted" on mine is faded, too, but I'm with you -- I'm not returning it!
