Big, red, Thunderbird.

My grandma’s neighbor had a yellow one that belched black smoke and clacked like a diesel. It was actually equipped with a 2-barrel 302.

Been in one of those, I was amazed by the amount of cigarette ash trays in there. I think they even had little lights when you opened the lid.

These are a guilty pleasure for me. But I need t-tops:

I’d prefer a loaded Heritage t-top model, but those seem to be so rare that I can’t even find a good pic of one:

Those look nice!  The t-tops make it!

It was a different era, I guess...

Definitely a piece of disco chic.  I suspect with the right engine (351 or 400), it was at least tolerable for the era, too.

Perhaps that is a good thing.

No, you need the 302 with 122 hp.

I think these are relatively stylish cars - especially compared to the 80-82 models.

My second grade teacher had one of these LTD II-Birds, I think it was a bronze color - and she was nice.

It’d be fun to see a V8 that the little 2.2 I6 in my fintail can probably outrun.

I could outrun it on my bicycle.

I have a new nickname for 45: Caligula.

It wasn’t the best era for cars - but it got worse before it got better.

Hopefully we are at the “got worse” in terms of politics right now.  If I remember my Roman history right, “Nero” also works.

I’m getting numb. I’d like to see a Harris/Booker Dem ticket.

I’d take anyone as long as they can right this ship.  If the direction isn’t changed by 2020, I fear things will be messed up for the rest of my life, no matter who wins later.

Those two might have the personality to move forward, they have more guts than many in their party.

I think there’s a sexual harassment claim against Booker.
